Java 3D and Java Advanced Imaging come preinstalled with Mac OS X Tiger. Installers for Mac OS X Panther can be downloaded from the Mac OS X Downloads site. The updates are manual and do not appear in Software Update. For 3D programmers, a viable alternative to Java 3D on Mac OS X is jogl. Whereas Java 3D is its own environment/API, jogl provides direct native bindings to the OpenGL API, allowing it to easily provide access to new OpenGL functionality, such as nVidia s vertex programming API. A version of jogl designed to work with Java 1.4.x on Mac OS X can be found at http://jogl.dev.java.net/. Please note that the project is not built nightly, so it is recommended to download the latest sources and build them yourself.
