John, > Has Sun announced that Java3D will be opensourced? There is no official announcement, but a couple of Sun employees said this is what they expect to happen on the java3d-interest@xxxxxxxxxxxx mailing list. Also, I have been complaining loudly to Sun and Apple folks, and they suggest help is on the way. > Would there be any > advantages to using something like JOGL or the "announceware" from Sun > and SGI over Java3D? That is, can a case be made that a $100K investment > would benefit more than just Mac OS X users? I am open to persuasion, but I don't think so. As long as Java3D makes it to all the Java platforms, I doubt another 3-D API would add much for VisAD users. Bill
