there's hope, but we'd first have to

1) make anyone using the jogl stuff install java 1.4 or later (most macosx users, maybe 40% of windows users who have java installed)

2) get the time to figure out how to deal with signing the jogl packages (may even be done for us by the jogl people) and just look into how jogl applets are handled. i'm not terribly optimistic since last i checked, sun was distributing jogl demos via java web start rather than applets, which would tell me that it's difficult to get things to work.

as far as going after shockwave, once we have an army of paid developers like macromedia, yeah! we'll kick their butt. but in the meantime, it's on the todo list. Wink

yeah, my question is exactly because I've spent some time at the jogl site and could not find any jogl applet - only metions to it in the forums. Dang!

I just mentioned shockwave because it's the only way that I know - so far - to put openGL in a browser... Sun keeps promoting "java games, wow!" everywhere, but all browser 3d gaming is shockwave...

army of paid developers? We would have to get used to this:

I think that Java web start would be an excellent
way to go for this. I tried something quick and dirty by
signing the main .jar and creating a .jnlp file, but
I must be missing something. Webstart downloads
the .jar but then gives me a security violation:
