vrml97

Hello,

I have a program that relies on Java 3D and the vrml97.jar loader. I am using the latest versions of jogamp's java3D: https://jogamp.org/deployment/java3d/1.7.1-build-20200222/ and what I believe is one of the original versions of vrml97.jar

My program runs properly with Java 8, but crashes with Java 13.

I decided to recompile everything from Java 3D sources with Java 13. Unfortunatelly, I cannot build the project, because of vrml97.jar. I tried to decompile it, but there are many incompatibilities between Jogamp's Java 3D and my current vrml97.jar. I would like to know if there are newer implementations of vrml97.jar.

Thank you for your help!

Hello

Where does this JAR come from? It's not maintained by the JogAmp community. If it relies on an old version of Java3D, you'll be able to make it work by decompiling it and adapting it to Java3D 1.7, it's mostly a problem of package names.

Pierre,
I just gone ahead and done what Julien suggested you do.

I assumed this jar came from:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/j/Downloadj3dvrml97jar.htm

This looks like it's under the jdesktop license, even though the source code isn't easily found online.

I'd like to include this loader in Java3D1.7 utils jar at some point, so I've had a go at de compiling it and making it work. java3d1.zip

If you like you can download it and see if you can get it to work as you need it to. Just start from the test.java file in the default package. Some input files work, some don't.

The code is de compiled code so it looks very ugly.

Phil.

Thank you so much Phil,

This seems to work. At least I could compile my program. I did not test it completely as I have to move many other files. I will do it over the weekend.
I also tested your test.java program and it seems to show something, but it is transient. I would like the window to stay, but it does not on my mac. Do you have this too?
Otherwise, you can test the loader on the wrl model I paste below. It worked before. I did not find a way to attach the file.

Pierre

Just one more thing. The vrml.jar file you used is not the same as mine. Mine is smaller: 316 697 bytes (319 K). If you want, I could send it to you, but which address do you want me to use?

Pierre

Hello Phil,

I have now converted my program and it works fine. Thank you again for your kind help. By the way, I think that this VRML loader can help a few people. It would be great if you could upload it somewhere so that it can benefit more people like me.

Just a precision, I had to use java 13. I could not compile it with java 14.

Pierre

Please tell us why you couldn't compile it with Java 14.

Hello Julien,

I made a miskate in the compiler configuration. I am sorry for this misleading message. I can compile it now. I was to mail it to you, when I read your message.

Pierre

Pierre,
that's good news, fixes like that are the best!

If you reply to this email could you press the "more" button on the right of the title bar of the reply editor pane and try to "upload a file" so I can see your vrml.jar file?

vrml97.jar
Hello Phil,

Here you are!
By the way, there seems to be a site that maintained versions of at least parts of Java3D here:
http://svn.xj3d.org/xj3d_code/trunk/src/java/

The vrml folder seems to have the same files as the ones in the jar file.

Pierre

Hello again,

I do not know if you will find it useful, but I could find a version of the source VRML loader, not inclusing the vrml folder.

I attach it.

Pierre vrml97.zip

Pierre,
That's great, funnily enough I was seearching myself last night and found a copy of it on this site
http://en.pudn.com/Download/item/id/361931.html
87196350java3dloadersrc.rar
It required logging in and mucking about a bit though.

My plan is to put a project up called java3d-vrml97 next to java3d-utils in my git repo that's been modified for 1.7

I'm glad we can preserve this utility nicely.

Hello Phil,

May I ask you how you found it? I am curious to know...
I tried myself to google a few class names and I found two sites, but not the one you mentioned. And yours has more recent versions.

Pierre

Pierre,
I googled all sorts of crazy variations, and read a whole lot of blog entries on the life of vrml. Most search results included the jar you supplied.

I think I googled
org.jdesktop.j3d.loaders.vrml97.impl
and the second link was to VrmlLoader.java on that site and then I had to muck around with the account verification process until it let me download it.

But that site doesn't have anything else to do with vrml specifically which is a pity.

Vrml97 loader for Java3D 1.7 up here now

Thanks for this work Pierre :)
