    7. Location of Java 3D documentation (including the Utility classes)

    The Java 3D 1.1 API documentation is available via the following links:

    Note that these documents refer only to the core Java 3D packages javax.media.j3d and javax.vecmath . They do not include the utility classes that come with the standard Sun implementation. These are what you get when you select the "Java 3D 1.1 API Specification" from the Java 3D home page.

    To get the full documentation for the Utility Classes ( com.sun.j3d ) select the "Java 3D 1.1 Implementation" option from the download section at: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/download.html

    Emmanuel Pirsch has converted the Java 3D documentation to WinHelp format. You can find it on the Javatips Home Page in the documentation section.
