Hi, I'm actually very interested in hearing more about how you've used Java3D in a physics project :) I'm an engineer by training, but dabble in computational physics, and published a paper (http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0039999) where the underlying simulator was written in Java and used JOGL (though not Java3D). Currently I'm working on a computational elastodynamics project, also using Java and JOGL. I think it's a nice platform for scientific programming, and it's good to see others using it the same way.

On another note, I think your email exchange here is a very useful reminder to us maintainers that not all of the users of JOGL are experts in programming and OpenGL :) On the internet, where you interact with people only through text, it's easy to start thinking that others are just like us, and hard to keep in mind that we know nothing about them or their age or experience level. As long as you're doing your best and working in good faith, there's no shame in asking questions :)
