RE: More Java Extensions

Actually, one of the big announcements on the first day at JavaOne was that Java3D was being open sourced.  I'm not sure if the licence is compatible or not, though.  I would hope that since LookingGlass is GPLed that it is legally compatible.  For details see: https://j3d-core.dev.java.net/

There is a free vecmath implementation, Bryan posted a link to it a few 
days ago, when the Java3d subject came up for the first time. There is 
no free software implementation of the Java3d apis, afaik. I doint't 
think there is a free implementation of JAI, yet, either. If you're 
looking for a nice project ... go for it :)
