Java3d on the Maven Central Repository

Thank you Phil and Sven. I will have to update the documentation in the wiki and in my blog as soon as possible. It's a great step for Java3D :)

Hello to all of you who do mind a lot about java3D API.
I would like to thank all of the people who maintain and are still maintening this wonderfull 3D API.

Julien, Sven. Probably many others, so please accept my apology if I did not say your name.
All of you clevers guys are doing an important job for me, who rellies heavilly on the java3D API.
 
Personnaly I do really need a good java3D api that is :
- stable,
- easy to program,
- easy to use (Maven pom compatible) ,  
- has no (blocking) bug
- and has a good speed in running.

I am today able to say that this version 1.7.1 of java3D is all of that. Wonderfull !
Great release !
I upgrated my java3D old  1.6.0-scijava-2 version to this wonderfull java3D 1.7.1

So Why this 1.3.1 version was great for me :
1) The Pom's MAVEN implementation by jogamp just works fine and easily
2) It solved my 3D Frame resizing issue (used to flicker and resized to a 40% heigh and 40%width). Now this java1.7.1 version displays the 3D frame at 100% : bug solved.
3) I used to have 3D picking issues in the last version. This was really a blocking issues for me. The java3D 1.7.1 solved it. After rewriting a bit, the picking of 3D objects works fine now. Great.
4) 3D Speed looks great. I would say it improved.

Once again thank you from me,
Thierry, a Week End developer of a 3D software.


 

PS:
If you are like me, a java3D api user, I would really recommend to upgrade your mavent pom file to this 1.7.1 version.
Here is under this, my MAVENT pom.xml file.
Hope it helps you.

Herer is a screenshot for the 3D part of my software :

Hi Tierry, I asked the jogamp group to publish their java3D artifacts on a maven repository at the beginning of this thread. What kind of software are you developing? It looks like a game. Is it published on github? Mine is a permutation puzzle simulator with mathematical support (rubik 3x3, 4x4, pyramynx, megaming, skewb and others), I'm almost ready to publish it on github. I'll post on this thread when I'm done. I also work on this project in my limited free time.

Keep in mind that JogAmp itself isn't updated on Maven Central:
https://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php?title=Maven#The_jogamp.org_test_repository

Since 2.4.0, the releases and the release candidates are pushed only to this repository

Hello Thierry Milard!

I'd like to know how things have gone with your 3D software, and if you plan to share or publish it on GitLab or GitHub.

Best regards,
oobravom

Little update in this regard, as already posted across
From 2.0-rc11 to 2.3.2 and from 2.6.0, packages are pushed to Maven Central.
