Restarted development of Java3d

All,

Just thought I'd post a note here to make you guys aware there is an effort to restart
development of the Java3d package.

You can find my github fork here:
[github.com]

The major point at the moment is to build a JOGL2 based backend and remove the need for
all of the native dll/.so files that cause so much trouble for people. JOGL2 has a much nicer
way of dealing with this....if there is anyone here interested, I'd love to hear from you.

Cheers,

Hi Harvey,

compatibility issues to older programs using java3d?

I have no plans to break any API at the moment, the only purpose is to provide a JOGL2 based backend
that can take care of all the native bindings, which is a much nicer solution than having a set of native
.dll/.so files provided with Java3d.

The basics of the JOGL2 backend appear to be functional at this point, will have something posted
at the github above by end of week, be aware there will be one history-rewrite to correct the raw svn
usernames in the current import with proper author/committer names.

So, this should be drop-in compatible with Java3d 1.5.2.

Hi,

despite the effort ... an eclipse bundle and maven support would be pretty nice.

Cheers,
