NASA has made a really good decision using the java/jogl/opengl combination. They will have performance on par with the .NET implementation, and it will be cross platform. And the java API's are at least 5th generation, so there is alot of great classes in the java stuff other than opengl/ui, etc. Anyone who has profiled a well tuned java app knows that perceived java performance is always gated by a few routines in the OS, or in this case, OpenGL.

Performance won't be a problem. The software is all free (both kinds of free) - so go build some large models yourself and try it. This is great news.

Other than the developers at NASA and Sun.. the community hasn't had a chance to play around with the latest code. I have tried the first version of the applet form of WWJava and I was getting 70-80 FPS but it only had the blue marble layer for imagery. I'll post more about WWJava once I get a copy and start looking at it more. Not yet.

I've seen 3D-java apps. They are "functional", but I've never seen one that really zings. I trust that this has already been discussed at length. Can anyone provide insight into the core technologies, and how its going to work? I must admit, I’m a little skeptical about java performance. I’ve seen 3D-java apps.
