The problem (as per my last discussion with Sun regarding this) is that
we can not legally allow Java 3D to be downloaded (without being able to
technically guarantee it isn't being downloaded in a "banned" country).
So if you are distributing on CD (and obviously not in a "banned"
country) then it isn't an issue, but for electronic (Internet)
distribution it's a "no go".

(I believe the same applies for Java itself)

I get plenty of tech support "problems" from customers that are confused
and struggle to properly download Java and Java 3D.  It would be a great
benefit to Java developers if we were legally able to package our
applications to avoid such issues.
