We have done it once. Our software lets the user choose if the 3D scene is drawn inside or outside the JDesktopPane, what we do by switching the Canvas3D from a JInternalFrane to a JFrame. There are some screenshots (and source code) at: http://camera3d.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html If you want to take a look at the code, the classes that do this are camera3d.gui.ViewportPane and camera3d.gui.ViewportFrame.
hope this helps

Have any of you built an interface that looked like Photoshop which contained free floating palettes and included a Java3D window? I know there is capability to have multiple windows floating within a main window (don't recall the name of this... maybe "desktop"), but I'm looking for something where the windows are all free floating and not inside anything else...I know there a lightweight/heavyweight issues here and mixing in Java3D is probably going to slow things down.
If anyone has done this can you give me sample code and tell me if the java and java3d interaction slows things down?
