At JogAmp we changed the namespace (import clause) for all packages
a while ago to pre-emptively avoid any (legal) issues with the
owner of said namespace.

We thought it is imperative to keep the project alive
in an independent fashion.

I strongly advise Java3D to follow suit and to abandon the original
namespace, as the latter may render commercial utilization
difficult due to granted terms of use of the running Java[tm] environment.

Hope it helps.

Yes, Phil is currently the ruling maintainer of Java3D.
