One of the changes to 1.6 is that com.sun.j3d.utils.scenegraph.transparency.TransparencySortGeom has been renamed and moved to media.j3d.TransparentRenderingInfo. This is at least what is returned by the TransparencySortController Comparator after moving to 1.6. The problem is that TransparentRenderingInfo has package space making it impossible to cast it and get access to the Shape3D and squared distance and other data provided. Is it possible to make this class public?
We use this functionality in the render hud elements last so they are always on top of the 3D geometry. It is also used by the hud elements to achieve painters algorithm. So we are very interested in keeping this functionality in Java3D 1.6.
I would also like to thank the people involved for keeping Java3D alive :-) Keep up the good work!
