Greets!

I'm looking for pointers for Java distributions for Linux. Has anyone
ported it yet?

Thanks,

"they" being sun? No, sun is not working on it. However, I am and its
going along fairly nicely. I'm even getting graphics stuff to come up.
Unfortuantely, not hotjava yet :(

It has absolutely nothing to do with VRML. Java is a language;
HotJava is a browser; information available at <URL:http://java.sun.com/>

tried to explain that it wasn't something that you could actually see but
was merely a program that was running in the background. One of the

Nope. It's a *language* from Sun. HotJava is a web browser
which understands the Java language. VRML is a virtual-reality
extention to html, not really realted to Java or HotJava.
Check out http://java.sun.com and comp.infosystems.www.*
for more info.

It's also a beverage consumed in mass quantities here in Seattle.

No, it's not a VRML-browser (webspace by SGI/TGS is among others a VRML
browser). Java is a language in which you can write platform and OS
independent programs, hotjava is a browser that can download java-applets
from website's and run them for you. For more (and correct) information
see http://java.sun.com

VRML stands for Virtual Reality Modeling Language, when it was initially introduced
it stood for Virtual Reality Markup Language... Silicon graphics and others have
been working on it for sometime. Netscape has mentioned including an interpreter in
future versions of Navigator... basically it allows for the creation of 3D worlds
and allows real time navigation and interaction within this 3D "world"...
Currently company called Paper Software has introduced WebFX for Netscape and
QMosiac, which allows for VRML... you can find WebFX at http://www.paperinc.com
If you have ever worked with POVray, VRML will be familiar to you... If you want
some sample scripts that I have written... let me know...
