I've added draft build rules to pkg-java svn,
<URL: svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/java3d >. I'm not
sure about naming, but have selected java3d as the source name, and
libjava3d-java, libjava3d-jni and libjava3d-doc as the binary package
names. Not quite sure about how to build the doc package, but the
other two seem to work. I include both j3d-core and j3d-core-utils in
the package, assuming both will be used together, and also because the
-utils package do not have its own build rules but need to be built
with j3d-core.

The SUN vecmath library is not the same as libvecmath1.2-java. The
latter is based on an old version of the specification of vecmath and
have not been developed since 1999. As the SUN vecmath library is
free software now, I would recommend dropping libvecmath1.2-java and
replace it with the SUN vecmath library. Any comments on this?
Should it in this case provide libvecmath1.2-java for those using the
existing package, or should we migrate them over?
Happy hacking,
