Hi!
I checked out JSR-184 (3d-graphics) and it looks nice, but I see only
a nokia implementation for j2me and it is only available on request.
Is there a free implementation for J2SE? I could use that ...

That's a 3D API for mobile phones and handheld devices, not for J2SE.

For j2se, use Java3D.

For more info, search the java web site or check out

Yes, true. But I see no reason it could not be ported to the J2SE.
Only very few changes would be needed as far as I can see. So I hoped
someone might have done it ...

java3d is too fat. Also I want to be able to easily port from j2se to j2me.

My point was that the API was designed for handsets and, as such, is
probably not going to be available for desktops. And, since it's built
on the MIDP, it's going to be integrated into the LCDUI APIs and won't
easily port to the J2SE desktop paradigm unless someone first ports
the LCUI. All in all, not a worthwhile task, really.

Besides, there's already a 3D API for J2SE. Why have another one?

I've done a partial implementation of the JSR-184 API using the JOGL
OpenGL wrapper for Java but I don't know if I can publish it because
of the Licensing terms of the Specification itself:

create and/or distribute an Independent Implementation of the
Specification that:
a) fully implementation under javax
b) all required interfaces
c) only them, no extension
d) compatibility test passed
e) full test on all the platforms
