I’m new to java game programming, and am trying to make an applet with 3D graphics. I’m using JOGL at the moment. It seems as though Java Webstart is very complicated to set up, so I’m still trying to do it in a applet(whiich would also suit my project better). Does Xith3D support applets? If so, can someone help me to get one up and running? Thanks!
Generally it is best not to use applets with native libraries they have to be installed first, voiding the whole point of using applets (i.e. nothing needs to be installed). Web-start on the other hand is a very nice cross-platform method of distributing java programs (with or without native libraries).
Will.
