It is certainly true that Java 3D has been scaled back considerably from the level of effort prior to November 2001. The API has been in a holding pattern since March 2002. What we announced in March of this year is a renewed commitment to Java 3D, and our intention to make the source code available on java.net via a public source license. We are working hard to make that happen by JavaOne. We hope to get help from the community in moving Java 3D forward again.
