I'm definitely interested in working on a Java 2 implementation of LDraw.
Java3D won't necessarily be in the picture; the discussion you linked to has
addressed the need for flexibility in this issue.
The plan here is two-fold: make it cross-platform and make it an extensible
framework. It's not so much about implementing LDraw in Java (or Perl or
Python, etc.) for the masses, it's more about designing and implementing a
framework for any programmer to write virtually any kind of LDraw utilities
quickly and easily. Of course, an LDraw renderer would be one of the first
end-user tools to emerge from this project.
If you're a Mac developer with OOD experience in Java, Perl or Python, and
are interested in making this happen, please join the thread and get your
ideas in there! :-,
Cheers,
