This project contains the source code for the Java 3D^TM example programs.

Related projects include: j3d-core (the core Java 3D API), vecmath (the 3D vector math package), and j3d-core-utils (the Java 3D core utilities). Refer to the download and build instructions for information on downloading and building vecmath.

Downloads

Three types of binary builds are available in the Documents & Files section of the j3d-core project on java.net: Release (or FCS) builds; Experimental (early access) builds; and Daily/Weekly builds. The latest release build of Java 3D v1.3.1 is available. A fairly stable experimental build, labeled as Java 3D v 1.3.2-build4 is now available. We will set up daily or weekly builds in the near future.

How to Contribute

We invite developers to contribute to Java 3D. Please refer to the Contributing to Java 3D page in the parent java3d project to learn how to contribute to this project or any other Java 3D-related project. See the JavaDesktop Community Governance Guidelines for general guidelines on participating in JavaDesktop community projects, such as j3d-examples.

Reporting Issues

We have set up the Issue Tracker in the parent java3d project to track issues (bugs, feature requests, etc.) for Java 3D-related sub-projects. Please use the above link rather than the Issue Tracker in this j3d-examples project. Refer to the Reporting Issues section in the parent java3d project for more information.

Feedback and Discussion

We have created four Java 3D mailing lists in the parent java3d project: interest 'at' java3d.dev.java.net, announce 'at' java3d.dev.java.net, issues 'at' java3d.dev.java.net, and cvs 'at' java3d.dev.java.net (replace 'at' with @). Click here to subscribe to any of these lists. The interest list is an open mailing list for discussing all aspects of Java 3D, the reference implementation for the Java 3D core, vecmath, utilities, example programs, etc. The annouce list is a low-volume moderated mailing list for announcing Java 3D-related news and information. The issues list is for automated issues tracking, and the cvs list is for automated CVS change messages (for changes to the parent java3d web pages only).

For those who prefer a forum to a discussion mailing list, we have created the Java 3D forum, hosted as part of the JavaDesktop Community. Messages posted on the forum are cross-posted to interest 'at' java3d.dev.java.net and vice-versa.

Finally, each sub-project has its own cvs mailing list. Click here to subscribe to this list. The cvs 'at' j3d-examples.dev.java.net list is for automated CVS change messages and discussion of those changes.
