This project contains the source code for the Java 3D 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-build3 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 section in the parent java3d project to learn how to contribute to this project or any other Java 3D-related project.

Feedback and Discussion

We have created two Java 3D mailing lists in the parent java3d project: announce@java3d.dev.java.net and interest@java3d.dev.java.net. Click here to subscribe to either of these lists. The annouce list is a low-volume moderated mailing list for announcing Java 3D-related news and information. 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.

For those who prefer a forum to a 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@java3d.dev.java.net and vice-versa.

Finally, each sub-project has its own cvs and issues mailing lists. Click here to subscribe to either of these lists. The cvs@j3d-examples.dev.java.net list is for automated CVS change messages and discussion of those changes. The issues@j3d-examples.dev.java.net list is for automated issue tracking.
