Java 3D, new version 1.6.0

Hi,
I downloaded 1.5.2 last year, meanwhile a pre-release version 1.6.0 is available.
What is the status? What can be expected?
Does anybody knows, how Java 3D will develop in the near future?
Does it make sense to build on Java 3D or is there any equivalent Java-based and SceneGraph-based 3D library/framework available?
Thx!

Your best option if you want 3D on your desktop is JOGL.

What's missing is Oracle's official approval and support. It would cost so little and mean so much so I hope they'll step forward and show responsibility and leadership.

  • Java program not working using newer version of scheduler (AutoSys)

    A little background: I'm in the middle of trying to upgrade our AutoSys server (scheduler) to the latest version (version R4 to R11) and have to do regression testing to ensure our jobs will work in the new version. There's a small java program that is not working supposedly due to the following error:
    Exception in thread "Main Thread" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/f1j/swing/common/JDKAdapter
    at com.f1j.swing.common.Adapter.<clinit>(Adapter.java:86)
    at com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook.<init>(JBook.java:3032)
    at com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook.<init>(JBook.java:3096)
    at com.test.Foo.performScan(Foo.java:122)
    So in the old version (R4), it runs fine. In R11, I get the exception above. The CLASSPATH matches and I've verified that by echoing it in the shell script that calls the java program. Here's how it's called in the shell script.
    echo $CLASSPATH
    ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java com.test.Foo
    So the Foo class was written by me, which makes use of this external library called f1j11swing.jar (for spreadsheet creation).
    The source of the error is from this line in Foo (line 122):
              book = new com.f1j.swing.engine.ss.JBook();
    The funny part is JDKAdapter (the missing class) is in the same jar file as JBook, so it definitely finds the library in the classpath. But for some reason, this new AutoSys version is spitting out this error. I've exhausted many approaches to resolving this, but I'm still stuck.
    Here's the layout of how things are called (should be same for R4 and R11):
    1. AutoSys server logs into client machine XYZ as user arnold
    2. arnold (AutoSys client) on XYZ executes shell script to call java program
    The only significant difference I see is that the AutoSys server in R4 is HP while the R11 server is Sun. However, it shouldn't matter because the client server they're logging into to execute the script is the same linux server.
    Does anyone have any ideas? I've already started dialogue with the vendor and it seems kind of in limbo at the moment. Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

    Hi DrClap,
    I just checked jre/lib/ext of my $JAVA_HOME and verified that there doesn't exist any library with a class named "Adapter." We don't put anything in this directory other than what came with the original installation. I've tried isolating the jars before as well, by doing something like (to no avail):
    java -cp /users/test/lib/f1j11swing.jar:/users/test/lib/Foo.jar com.test.Foo
    If I remove the f1jswing11.jar path in the above command, it will complain about other things. Also, for fun, I tried dropping f1j11swing.jar into the ext folder and removing it from the CLASSPATH and it yielded the original error. Running it directly from the shell and old version of autosys works fine.
    I hope I understood your suggestion correctly and please let me know if you have any other ideas. I'm surprised why java would act differently with a different version of an AutoSys client logging into the same machine and environment. Thanks.
    xiarce - I haven't heard anything regarding this, but I'll bring it up. Thanks.

  • Java won't update - A newer version is already installed

    Hello all,
    I'm operating on a MacBook Air that i recently updated to OS X 10.9.2. Along with the update, Java 7 was installed. I need to have Java 6 Update 20 installed to use some programs on this computer for work. I've gotten the files to install that update, but when I attempt to do so I receive a message stating that I cannot install on my disk. A newer version is already installed.
    I've gone into finder > Go to Folder and deleted the Java folder after uninstalling java in the first place. This has not fixed my issue. Please advise. I'm sorry if this is in the incorrect format. I wasn't able to post to the applications group.

    Hi Christopherbronson,

  • Unable to work with Java APIs in MDM new version 5.5.42.65

    Hi,
    I developed few java applications using MDM Java APIs in the old version(5.5.41.70) of MDM.
    After  installing new version(5.5.42.65) of MDM  in my system, i tried to execute the java applications,am getting failed to execute the applications.
    Does the change in the Version not allowing the Java MDM application to execute or is there any other reason..?
    Regards
    Praveen K

    Praveen,
    Are you using the new jar files as well?  The api jars and the mdm server must be on exactly the same version.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't install new versions of java under firefox,,i revert to explorer to do so

    when attempting to install the lastest version of java, firefox tries to load the install software instaed of providing me with run--->install buttons to click on. this has happened everytime a new version of java has become available,,my work around has been to bring up internet explorer and install java through it.

    You can save the Java installer to your desktop and start that file in the usual way with a double click.

  • I have to new version of FireFox and it doesn't allow me to use my Go daddy Email account. Go daddy said this is a beta version, so its not reading Go daddy's java script

    This new version of FireFox is in beta. I cannot send email with my Go Daddy web based email service. Go daddy tech support says this FireFox in beta is not reading Go Daddy's java script. That why I cannot send email with FireFox. Can I install the older version back. If so how?

    Hmmm, Norton extensions are broken again in Firefox 4.0.1. It seems that Norton didn't allow for Firefox 4.0 security updates when they updated their Firefox extension for Firefox 4.0. Norton says they'll have a fix in two weeks. A Norton user posted a fix in this forum thread.

  • New version of Java Developer Certification

    Hi!
    I' ve done the NW04 Dev Consultant Java Certification and am now wondering - as NW7.1 with Java EE 5.0 gets into Ramp-Up - when a new version (with a delta certification?) will be available for this educational path.
    Additionally I would like to take either Portal or ABAP certification - could anybody tell me which of these two skills would better fit to my skill set and be more valuable in future?
    Regards,
    Thomas

    I think you can do the Portal certification with little effort, at least I did. I just read the training material once (I had some experience in the Portal) and certified.
    ABAP is really a big plus, even if you just develop portal/java/webdynpro/caf applications or components. But I personally wouldn't spend the time to get certified in it. It might be a better idea to go for the Sun Java 5 certification.

  • Can older verion of java run with new version ?

    I am new to java.I confuse with the version of java.
    I have buit system,like a website,with 1.1.8 version of java . Now, I will promote the JVM to the new version , like 1.2 version . What i will watch ? Is that ok ?
    Thanks everybody.

    Yeah, it's ok - Java is backwards compatible. But you might want to check that it works first. Most old parts of the API have remained the same from the day they were first released, but you might get problems with methods like getX in the class java.awt.Point or getWidth in the class java.awt.Dimension.

  • New Version 4 won't work with Java. Had to go back to older version.

    I checked all my plugins disabling/enabling. Ran Malware. Reinstalled Java. Reinstalled FF Version 4. Still couldn't get my website edit context to load, but it would on IE. So I uninstalled the Version 4 and went back to Version 3.6.16. All is well now. Don't like the new version. Wasted 2-3 hrs fooling around.

    * Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
    * Firefox 3.0 versions and later require at least Mac OS X 10.4
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
    The last Firefox version that works on OS X 10.3.x is 2.0.0.20.<br />

  • Java for OS X 2012-006 says "A newer version is already installed"

    ...which is true.
    I downloaded the latest Java update today on OS X Lion 10.7.5 (and some other updates).
    I also updated to the latest Java from Oracle (so I was running 1.7 u9 and 1.6 u37). But, the Apple Java update today looks like it got rid of /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences, so I was having some trouble trying to figure out another problem.
    Fast forward a bit and I've hosed up everything. I have Oracle 1.7 u7 installed, but need the Apple 1.6 stuff still. However, when I go to install it, I get the error above: "Alert: A newer version of this package is already installed."
    However, at this point I've deleted a bunch of files in /System/Libraries, in /Libraries, and there is no /usr/bin/java or /usr/libexec/java_home, etc.
    Where in the world does Installer find the previous version and know it's already been installed? Can I somehow make it forget it installed it once and just have it reinstall?

    OK, I think I fixed it (sort of).
    I had tried editing /System/Library/CoreServices/JavaVersion.plist and adding in an older version of Java, but maybe it was looking at the timestamp of the file? I eventually downloaded an earlier version of Apple's Java and manually extracted the packages/contents into a temporary directory. Then I copied over a few directions/executables into the reals /System/Library/Java* areas.
    I re-ran the 006 update and it stuck. I'm guessing the JavaVersion.plist file was it but I don't know for sure (would love to know for sure how Installer.app knows what is installed, where it looks, etc).
    I think this also blew away my Oracle Java 7 install, but that's okay for now because I think I can reinstall that easier.

    I can't wait for 2.0, it will actually do the
    programming by itself.3.0 will not only do the then-current programming tasks by itself, it will go backward in time and do all previous years' homework assignments, obfuscate the .class files, create .exes out of them, and cause all questions about them (even though those questions are no longer needed, nor even exist any more) to be clear and specific. Then it will undelete the watercooler.
