A possible feature under consideration for Java 3D 1.4 is a lightweight JCanvas3D that is similar to JGLCanvas in JOGL. Adding this into core may be beyond the scope of 1.4. It probably can be done as a utility, although it may require some core changes.
Note: this feature will not happen without an someone from the community volunteering to drive it.
