I've tried to find the announcement, and below is a list of related links: http://www.j3d.org/ -> "27 July The final two developers working on Java3D have been sacked by Sun. That means there is no official support coming from them, and obviously no further development. At this point Java3D is effectively dead, unless the various community efforts can convince Sun to release all or part of the source. We're keeping track of the various efforts with replacement scene graphs and also expect to see further announcements from us too with respect to where the site is going in the future." There seems to be an interesting FAQ there too, but it did not work on the Konq I had...: http://www.j3d.org/faq/index.html Took me some time... 20 minutes... but I found the article again... turned out to be much older than I thought... July 28... http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/2241281 Anyway, seems that they are going to replace Java3D with a OpenGL based java 3D engine... deal together with SGI. But, it will probably be at least a year before we can expect a release... or maybe not.
