Sun Open Sources "Looking Glass" and Java 3D
By: Java News Desk
Digg This!
Sun Microsystems today underscored its commitment to open source and desktop technology leadership by contributing Project Looking Glass and Java 3D technology to the open source community. This contribution will unleash a new dimension of developer innovation by making Sun's technology available at Sun's 3D Desktop Technology Open Source Project on java.net. Sun also announced additional open source desktop efforts in collaboration with the Java developer community: the JDesktop Network Components (JDNC) and JDesktop Integration Components (JDIC). JDNC radically simplifies the development of rich networked desktop applications. JDIC seamlessly integrates cross-platform Java technology-based applications with the native desktop. These open source community contributions aim to promote innovation, ease of development, integration and interactivity on the desktop, and stimulate growth of the Java platform economy for all participants. Project Looking Glass Project Looking Glass is the 3D desktop project that first captivated the technology industry and blew the lid off the traditional windowing paradigm at its first mass demo in Summer 2003. Project Looking Glass' innovative desktop interface offers an intuitive, new 3D environment to interact with desktop applications featuring window transparency, rotation, zoom, multiple desktop workspaces and miniaturization. The technology helps developers build highly visual 3D desktops and applications that will run on the Solaris Operating System (OS) and Linux systems such as Sun's Java Desktop System. The Project Looking Glass developer's release is expected to enable Java technology developers to break new ground in the way information and data is represented to the user. The following features are now available in the Project Looking Glass developer's release:
For more information on Project Looking Glass, visit www.sun.com/software/project-looking-glass. Java 3D - Taking Java Technology to New Dimensions Sun is also releasing the Java 3D API to the open source community on java.net. The Java 3D API, recently used by NASA for its command and control system for the Mars Rover mission, helps developers incorporate high-quality, scalable, platform-independent 3D graphics into applications and applets based on Java technology. To access Java 3D, visit java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/. JDesktop Integration Components (JDIC) The JDIC project, launched on java.net, will continue Java technology's focus on seamless desktop integration. It complements the native look and feel for Windows XP and GTK introduced in Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.4.2 and the desktop integration enhancements in J2SE 5.0. JDIC will help developers create applications that run on multiple operating systems while giving users a quality user experience consistent with their desktop. Visit http://jdic.dev.java.net for more details. JDesktop Network Components (JDNC) JDNC aims to simplify the development of rich networked desktop applications. It offers a set of high-level user interface components with built-in networking and data-binding support that can be configured via XML. JDNC will lower the bar for rich client development and boost developer productivity, enabling a larger portion of developers to take advantage of highly interactive client applications. More information can be found at http://jdnc.dev.java.net. Project Looking Glass, Java 3D, JDIC, and JDNC projects are part of javadesktop.org, the java.net community for desktop developers. The 2004 JavaOne Developer Conference marks the first anniversary of java.net, the source for Java technology collaboration sponsored by Sun. In addition, java.net today launched a new community dedicated to the discussion, development and collaboration of Java Specification Requests (JSR) proposed by Java Community Process (JCP) members. This new community aims to increase efficiency by making it easier to set up JSR projects and providing the appropriate tools needed to communicate and share code with the community for greater transparency.
