[Source] problem with jgeom build, java3d dependency

[Rune Aasgard]

Is there really an AV3D 3.0? I had started to believe this project was just as dead as Java3d. I can't find any recent downloads (and my latest attempts to contribute some code was met with total silence), so I guess there is some git or svn source somewhere? And lastly, how do AV3D 3.0 relate to Xj3D? There doesn't seem to be much development there either lately, but from what you say I may be wrong?

I may have to ponder this over some pumpkin pie, or at least try to find out what the Best Practices are thought to be for this. I thought the javax.* packages were supposed to be standard extensions, preinstalled or maintained by the JRE; and I wonder what other incompatibilities will be introduced if we start substituting our own updates to Java3d.

Generally not a good idea to rely on it. For all intents and purposes Java3D is dead and with it vecmath.  Updates to this are not available and haven't been since about 2008 or so. The latest version on Maven is
1.3.1 from around 2004, nowhere near the "current" version of 1.5.1.

For AV3D 3.0 I've totally removed vecmath and implemented my own replacement for it.
