J3DWorkbench 2.0 released -- call for participation

Here we go again: another J3DWorkbench release, another call to Java3D users and 3D enthusiasts!

We have just released J3DWorkbench 2.0, a stable, powerful WYSIWYG (Java)3D scene & application builder for multiplatforms, using the Rich Client Platform (RCP) from Eclipse.

New features include:

Collision detection and avoidance (even inside convex, back faces)
API refactor-- now you can easily 'Webstart' saved scenes without Eclipse libraries (pure AWT/JFC)
Activate per-view frame-counter for performance tracking

Folks, we are using this thing in two different professional settings (an IBM visualization application and a medical procedure simulation).

I leave you with 5 reasons to try it and get involved:

You can build rich, dynamic, real-world 3D applications with it
You can quickly prototype and test Java3D concepts & features
You can inspect the code for areas of interest (e.g. collision, texture animation, dot3)
You can request or contribute features, plugins, documentation
You can ask for certain features to be integrated directly into Java3D
