Would be interested to take a look in this one. Look a bit on the expensive side for me at the moment though :S

By the looks of the preview it uses the default Java2D library but all it boasts in its description is :

[quote]application programming, full-screen games, input handling, matrix transformations, basic physics, intersection testing, collision detection, and much more
[/quote]
Unless the ‘much more’ really is much more, this doesn’t really seem all that worth it. These are the kind of relatively basic things you can find and probably learn more about from internet tutorials and forums
