[Source] problem with jgeom build, java3d dependency

[Alan Hudson]

I've been mostly using Xj3D for server-side processing of files.  So the
apps/cadfilter application get's updated a fair bit.  As to AV3D 3.0 no
plans currently.  I assume some day JOGL will stop working but at least for
me changing over Xj3D's rendering system is not a priority.
