RE: [Classpathx-discuss] More Java Extensions

[Regier Avery J]

Actually, one of the big announcements on the first day at JavaOne was that 
Java3D was being open sourced.  I'm not sure if the licence is compatible or 
not, though.  I would hope that since LookingGlass is GPLed that it is legally 
compatible.  For details see: https://j3d-core.dev.java.net/

There is a free vecmath implementation, Bryan posted a link to it a few 
days ago, when the Java3d subject came up for the first time. There is 
no free software implementation of the Java3d apis, afaik. I doint't 
think there is a free implementation of JAI, yet, either. If you're 
looking for a nice project ... go for it :)
