Essesential software but desperately needs to be updated - Version: 1.0, 5/20/2005 03:12PM PST

This is an important piece of software for many of us, essential for using various pieces of specialised software, however it also needs to be supported. A handful of bugs including one really serious one (ie can bring down your entire graphics system -- don't try resizing a 3D view made using a ConfigureUniverse for example...) have not been fixed in the 18 months since it was released (and yes, I have reported them to Apple).

Java 3D itself has been open source for a while, but that doesn't include the Mac port so we're still dependent on Apple supporting this software. Still. they've surprised me before (by porting Java 3D at all) after I'd given up hoping...

Having said that, this is essential software for using Java 3D applications on the Mac. Just don't resize a window containing a 3D view before saving any important work you have done, in case the programmer happended to use a ConfiguredUniverse class to implement his/her J3D application!

Good for general java use. - Version: 1.0, 11/22/2004 08:31PM PST

Not only has this "update" given Apple java the ability to run Java3D Applets but I have found that a lot of regular java Applets that make their own interfaces are much fast. Much more so with Java apps like limewire.

If you use a lot of java, either on the web or on your Macs hard drive, download and install this. You won't be sorry!

Java 3d... - Version: 1.0, 1/14/2004 02:47PM PST

I found one application already that requires this Java 3d update:

• NASA's Maestro Mars exploration and observationware. See http://mars.telascience.org/home

Unfortunately it may not be a good demonstration for the Java 3d software or NASA's software is the culprit, but it runs as slow as a slug in a salt mine (even on a G4 800 MHz!)
