Any ideas on the topic of possible inclusion of this to the libs
Unfortunately only a few parts of Java 3D were released under a free
license. The core javax.media.j3d and javax.vecmath packages are only
available under the JDL/JRL licenses which are non-free, I presume.
However, the example programs and com.sun.j3d.* packages were
released under BSD license, so we could perhaps consider using those
if they proved to be useful.
Note that there is already a free implementation of javax.vecmath:

And the rest of the world seems to have moved to Xith3d. [1]
Hmm... from the Xith3d page, it says:
|
| Xith3D runs on top of JOGL (Java for OpenGL) or
| LWJGL (Light Weight Java Gaming Library)
|
Looking at the jogl site https://jogl.dev.java.net/ I see it's BSD
licensed.
(Also interesting, the jogl site mentions that jogl "integrates with
the AWT
and Swing widget sets" whatever that means...)
Just curious, has anyone built jogl with GCJ? Is jogl the Java-OpenGL
binding-of-choice?
