Ya never know; it may have been people like Justin that got the folks at Sun to perk up their ears. What's that old saying?... "the sqeaky wheel gets the oil"  ? Whatever the reasons - the outcome is GREAT! And thanks to Sun for making a very wise, strategic decision. -RJ Maxim Tugai <[EM

Doing things like wrapping Java 3D defeats the purpose of both open software and the open source process that asks us to improve the original offering, in this case Java3D. Those of us who are interested in doing 3D rendering in Java need to devote our energies to improving Java 3D itself. Creatin

All, Being a new member of this list, this is pretty disheartening news, to say the least. On the other hand, this could be an opportunity for the Open Source community to lend a hand, working with the folks from Sun who are knowledgeable about the 3D packages and go beyond 1.4. I guess the ques
