Java3D Source Code Released

Posted by michael on from the have-a-nice-steaming-cup dept.

mrp101 writes "Over the past few months (aka year) the future of Java3D has been in question. Not too long ago Apple announced a port to Mac OS X, but still no official update from Sun. A few weeks ago Sun announced that they were going to release the source code and begin collecting comments for version 1.4/2.0. And today they delivered, right before the JavaOne conference. The announcement can be found here(1) and the CVS here(2). The code includes the core scenegraph, the vector math library, and Sun's own add-on utility libraries."

    To late for me, but hats of to them on this. If they had done this about 5 years ago, I would have put my energy into learning, but now that Coin has implemented OpenInventor and then some, I have little interest in java. I was always worried about sun letting java 3d drop off the face of the earth or only updating for solaris (which might be a worse fate)
