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...

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.
