Intersection point distance

Question

Point3d []linePts=new Point3d[2];
                linePts[0]=new Point3d(line.getXStartCoordinate(),line.getYStartCoordinate(),0);
                linePts[1]=new Point3d(line.getXEndCoordinate(),line.getYEndCoordinate(),0);
                Point3d sgmtStart = new Point3d(riorPosition.getX(),riorPosition.getY(),0);
                Point3d sgmtEnd = new Point3d(riorPosition.getY()+lineLength*java.lang.Math.cos(alfa),riorPosition.getX()+lineLength*java.lang.Math.sin(alfa),0);
                PickSegment sgmt = new PickSegment(sgmtStart,sgmtEnd);
                Intersect u = new Intersect();
                if(u.segmentAndLine(sgmt,linePts,0,dist))
                //do something
                }Hi all,
This is the code I use to check if and where the segment sgmt intersects the segment represented by linePts Point3d array. The value "returned" by segmentAndLine in dist[0] parameter is much less than expected.
Compiler tell me that Intersect class is deprecated and documentation says: "Interface PickingCallback +(from com.sun.j3d.utils.behaviors.picking package)+: As of Java 3D version 1.2, replaced by com.sun.j3d.utils.picking.behaviors.PickingCallback".
I looked for some equivalent method into com.sun.j3d.utils.picking.behaviors.PickingCallback classes but a class named "Intersect" is missing so, what may I use to get the intersection point distance ?
Thank you to everybody.
Raffaele
