Java 3D New?

Hi. About a year ago, I remember hearing some hype about how Java 3D is about to be released soon, and everyone was getting excited. However, books exist on the topic as far back as 2002. Was I hearing things, or is Java 3D relatively new (maybe it has had a new release?).
Sorry, additionally, is it safe to do a project in java 3D? I see a lot of post from about a year ago talking about it becoming obsolete. I am just trying to decide what to use to create a virtual world, and I would like to use Java 3D if it is still well supported.
cheers

"The Java 3D API is now a community source project developed on java.net."
..you can find info about:
http://java3d.java.net/
also another java3d forum exists on java.net, you can ask there about plan for future

  • Should Java introduce new primitive data types??

    In Java SE 5.0, many character- related methods (especially in the class Character) handle code points by using int type, i.e. return (code point) type is int, or receive (code point) int as parameter. This leads several problems. First, the variable used for storing returned result should be carefully stated, otherwise confusion may arise. Second, the parameters of method should be carefully ordered, otherwise conflict of method signature may meet.
    By those reasons, I suggest that Java should introduce new primitive data types for handling characters, they are:
    1. wchar
    this type states the variable stores 32-bit UNSIGNED integer, and it could be used to store either the code point, or the UTF-16 code of a character.
    2. ascii
    this type states the variable stores 8-bit UNSIGNED integer, and it could be used to store the code point of a elemental (ascii) character.

    short char, no. Nononono.
    No.
    wchar, I think I'd pref to see Java version 2 come
    out, and that be wchar by default, but that is not
    going to happen.
    I don't see a great need for it at this time.http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4504839
    Though I do not think that Java developer would like to change too much program code for using proposed (unsigned) primitive data types, I still believe that Java developer will eventually introduce these types, because it is not efficient to pretend signed integer to unsigned integer, and the success of a programming language is determined by how it can meet the programmers' need.

  • Cannot create JAVA on new computer...please help

    I have not been able to actually view anything I create with Java on my new computer. I have tried installing the latest update of Java but it didn't help. Sun Java was already installed on this computer.
    I use Front Page to create web sites and have never had a problem before.
    When I create a Java effect, I can see the Java Icon in normal view but as soon as I try to preview... nothing shows up.
    The Java effects i created on my other computer show up on this computer...
    please help ...

    Thank you for your response but this doesn't help.This is a forum for Programming in Java. Your question appears to be targeted at something else, Digital Video maybe? Possibly Applets? We don't know, and you aren't giving enough information to make a decent guess. If you have a Java code development-related question this would be the place to post that.
    Perhaps you want a Microsoft Forum?
    Good Luck

  • Java on new MacBook Pro

    I have a new MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. I ran Migration Assistant to move over from my old MacBook. Photoshop CS 5.1 won't run until I install Java. A dialog box opens asking me to install Java Runtime. I installed Java 7 from MacUpdate but that didn't affect the error message. Java Preferences won't even run.

    The solution -- after trying for 2 hours. I went to Apple.com. Went to Downloads and searched for "Java". That brought up the latest release.

  • Roadmap for Blackberry / Java Developers new to Mac

    Hi,
    I am totally new to the mac environment, and hope one day to start developing iPhone apps. I currently develop Blackberry Apps.
    What I would like to see is a Clear Roadmap for developers who may have never seen a "Mac" before.
    So far from my reaseach I have compe up with the following :-
    1. Learn Objective C :- (Many docs / books available)
    2. Understand the Cocoa framework :- (Again ADC etc has wealth of info)
    Understand UiKit framework
    Understand XCode / Interface Builder
    3. Purchase an Intel Mac with OS 10.5 (any recomendations ???)
    4. Join the ADC and download the SDK and try some simple apps.
    5. Figure out how to "deploy" the apps onto an iPhone. (via USB cable ??)
    If soneone could comeup with a blog that describes how to go about this, it would encourage many developers who develop for Blackberry etc to start developing for Mac.
    Finally, if someone could come up with a roadmap that would enable us to use GNUStep or something similar to get our "feet wet" on Linux / Windows BEFORE
    going on to actually purchasing a "Mac" computer, it would give us the confidence to invest in Apple hardware, knowing that we are on the right track.
    Thanks

    Go to apple's iPhone developer site. http://developer.apple.com/iphone/
    They have a Getting started area.
    Any Intel Mac should work fine. Do you want something cheap, laptop, big screen, etc. Up to you.
    Speeds not really an issue with standard compiling.
    You don't have to join ADC to get started. Download the SDK and run the simulator. You can sign up for $99 program when you want to move it to the actual device.
    Not sure GNUstep would help or how much it matches Cocoa, etc.
    If you've already been programming in C++ or other languages moving to Obj-C is not that bad. iPhone is less dense than full Mac Cocoa.
    Deployment is same cable the phone came with. All you need is XCode, your app and the certificates from apple.

  • 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.

  • New to java .. new to license - use of javac...

    Hello,
    I was wondering about the sdk license from sun's jdk...
    Can somebody explain me if i'am right or not and when not then why?
    - The sdk contains the javac compiler.
    Calling this compiler through my java code in process (via main()-method call)
    is allowed? is it illegal?
    Calling this compiler with some wrapper classes to catch the error messages
    and warnings is allowed? is it illegal?
    - There are some other sun.* packages which are not documented...
    Can i use/extend those classes at my own risk?
    or is it illegal at all? And then when its illegal what is so "open" and free about java?
    Are there more public versions of java available?
    How can I make products and sell them without a big laywer department?
    greetings and thanks from an really irritated newby

    As I said I know that javac is only inside the SDK.
    But I don't know if it is allowed to extend such classes
    and then if customers install the jdk can make
    use of the extended SDK classes...
    Greetings and Thanks

  • Class with objects compile error in Java 1.5.0 and 1.4.2.05

    Hi, I have some problems with creating objects to my java program.
    See below:
    JAVA, creating new class object.
    class AccountTest {
         public static void main(String[]args) {
         Account olesAccount = new Account(123456676756L, "Ole Olsen", 2300.50);
         olesAccount.deposit(1000.0); //Input of 1000$ to account
         double balance = olesAccount.findBalance(); //Ask object about balance!
         System.out.println("Balance: " +balance);
    ERRORS, from compiler (javac):
    AccountTest.java:7: cannot find symbol
    symbol : class Account
    location: class AccountTest
    Account olesAccount = new Account(123456676756L, "Ole Olsen", 2300.50);
    ^

    ^
    2 errors
    This error occurs with both java 1.5.0 RC and 1.4.2.05
    */

    Assuming you haven't forgotten to compile the Account class, tt seems to be a problem with visibility. Are you sure your classpath is set up correctly and that the class Account is visible to the AccountTest driver?
    I'd try moving the Account out of whatever package it's in right now and making it public. Then, restrict acces from there.

  • Parsing an XML using DOM parser in Java in Recursive fashion

    I need to parse an XML using DOM parser in Java. New tags can be added to the XML in future. Code should be written in such a way that even with new tags added there should not be any code change. I felt that parsing the XML recursively can solve this problem. Can any one please share sample Java code that parses XML recursively. Thanks in Advance.

    Actually, if you are planning to use DOM then you will be doing that task after you parse the data. But anyway, have you read any tutorials or books about how to process XML in Java? If not, my suggestion would be to start by doing that. You cannot learn that by fishing on forums. Try this one for example:

  • Calling java instance methods in XSLT stylesheet

    HI
    I know this has been answered in this forum but I cnanot get it to work.
    Before calling the transform() method on my transformer instance I do the following
    transformer.setParameter( "Confirm", confirm)confim is an instance of one of my own classes. I want to get the
    XSLT stylesheet to call a method on this object. The method sig is
    public void setTitle(String title)Accordingly in my stylesheet I do the following
    <xsl:param name="Confirm"/>having already declared the java namespace in my stylesheet element as xmlns:java="java", and later on call the setTitle method
    <xsl:value-of select="java:setTitle($Confirm,$Title)/>where $Title is another var generated in the XSLT.
    This should work, right? Well I get an error
    'The first argument to the non-static Java function 'setTitle' is not a valid object reference.'But it is as I can do this
    <xsl:value-of select="$Confirm"/>Thanks

  • XLST with Java enhancement

    Givent the following java code:
    class myClass {
    static int num=0;
    static public int getNum() {
      ++ num;
      return num;
    If I call getNum() in XSL as follows
    <xsl:value-of select="Java:myCLass.getNum()"/>
    <xsl:value-of select="Java:myCLass.getNum()"/>
    is the result:
    1, 2
    or
    1, 1?
    I want to ouput 1,2, if not, how can I do?
    I can not test in sap now ,hence post this thread, thanks.

    thanks.
    Well, no matter ++num or num ++.
    My point is  if num value can being passed through multiple java calls in the transformation.
    I mean when each time XSLT call the java method, the XSLT processor init a new process or there is just one process.
    If is new process, then we can not view value changes from different java method.
    It's fine to hear that it output 1,2 , which is what I want. That means, XSLT just use one process------
    And  XSLT only can call static java method?
    Or it can call the non static methods like:  ?
    <xsl:variable name="obj" select="java:myClass.new()"/>
    <xsl:variable name="test" select="java:obj.xxxx()"/>
