I think half of the information of Java3Ds future are disinformation. If you look at http://java3d.virtualworlds.de/index.php you will find an official statement from Sun which tells something different (look at the news from 18. 09. 2003)
Yup, there was much the same posted on javagaming about the same time, and what has been said since?, nothing, not a sound. It's one thing to refer to some piece of news that is 2 months old, but the point is nothing has happened, and we can either sit and wait with no news from sun for ever, or start working out alternatives. Xith seems quite a good one right now for some applications, and it's mostly java3d compatible, so if sun finally announce something other than it's death, we might be able to go back, of course, by then xith could have gained the advantage from the extra months of dev time it's getting now.
Hey man, We don't work for SUN. We can only speculate. So, I'd rather speculate POSITIVELY or not at all. Java 3D is a very good API and very intuitive. Keep in mind that no one ever dreamed of the Apple release till they magically unveiled it with no one even expecting it. Expect something similar from SUN...
I absolutely agree with you! The worst thing would be a pessimism which tells everybody J3D IS already dead. Some people who spread this information about their websites and mailinglist help to dig J3Ds grave (a little bit). So please: let's have a look at the facts and don't speculate SO much.
