@philjord It's nice to hear that the work on Java3D goes beyond just maintenance, keep up the good work ;)

@gouessej yes serialization has these risks but it's also a huge time saver when in development. It's okay I'm sure I can find a solution, my serializable dependencies are limited to few vecmath classes so I suppose I could just duplicate those classes in my project.

But for now Java3D 1.7 doesn't seem to offer much improvement compared to Java3D 1.6_pre 9 which I'm currently using so I guess I stick to that version. In fact the initiation of Java3D 1.7 seem to be 50% slower than _prev9. My main hope for Java3D 1.7 was that maybe you guys solved the problem with some users having old video card drivers or Microsoft video cards and getting this exception: Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1). But I doubt that's a solvable issue unless I downgrade to Java3D 1.5 before directx pipeline support was removed from Java3D.
