ANNOUNCEMENT: Java 3D source code now available!
OVERVIEW
--------
We announce the availability of the source code for the Java 3D API
on
java.net. We are involving developers in the evolution
of the Java 3D
API. Come join the Java 3D projects on java.net, and
download the
source code for the core Java 3D API, vecmath, the Java 3D
core
utilities, and the Java 3D program examples.
We invite anyone to be a project "observer". All you
need to do is
sign up for a java.net account, if you don't have one already,
and
join the project. We will have more detailed
instructions as to
how to contribute to the project after JavaOne.
JAVA.NET PROJECTS
-----------------
There are 4 separate sub-projects under the main Java 3D
project
(which is just the parent for the other four). The
projects, and
their URLs are:
Project URL

LICENSE
-------
We are releasing the source code for the j3d-core-utils and
j3d-examples projects under a BSD license.
We are releasing the source code for the j3d-core and vecmath
projects
under separate research and commercial license. The
research license
is the Java Research License (JRL). The commercial license is the
Java
Distribution License (JDL), a no-fee license that allows a vendor
to
ship a compatible version of Java 3D with or without
modification.
The API specification will continue to evolve as part of the
Java
Community Process (JCP). We welcome community participation,
and
encourage developers to contribute both bug fixes and new
implementation code to the API. The combination of the JRL and the
JDL
was chosen to facilitate this, while ensuring the integrity
and
compatibility of the API.
JAVAONE AND JULY 4TH HOLIDAY
----------------------------
Finally, a little logistical information. The Java 3D
team will be at
JavaOne most of next week and then on holiday the entire week
after
that. We apologize in advance for our slow response time
in answering
e-mails over the next two weeks.
