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.
Think of this - it only takes a few words from Sun to put a stop to all
the speculation. I'll phrase an example (this is totally made up):
"Java3D is actively in development and we have a team of dedicated
engineers who are committed to fixing bugs and bringing you new features
now and in the foreseeable future."
At least the bug list is alive. I submitted a bug about two weeks ago and
received the information that this is a new one. So everybody may form its
own opinion for what a bug list is more useful - for a project which was
completely cancelled or a project where people already work on (ok there
is also a third answer, more a conspiracy theory: they manage the bug list
to hide the fact, that J3D is dead _only_).
