Java 3D
I'm interested in creating 3D applications in Java, but can not get Java 3D working. The IDE (Eclipse) keeps telling me everything is undefined when I try using any examples from Google searches. I did install Java 3D.
I have decided to go with LWJGL. I followed the instructions on its wiki, and managed to get it working. If anyone could point me out any good tutorials on OpenGL / LWJGL, I'd appreciate it.

Re: Java 3D
Java3D is fairly old and no longer supported (last I heard at least)...you might consider using something else such as JOGL. That being said, when you say install, what do you mean? Are the jar files on your classpath?
Re: Java 3D
Ok thanks. I'm going with LWJGL as it was easy to set up, and get started. I'll still need some good tutorials though
Re: Java 3D
Their wiki has a bunch of tutorials: LWJGL Wiki. You could also try the NeHe tutorials. The main tutorials use C/C++, but they also provide the concepts of programming with OpenGL. All you need to do is make the transition between their descriptions/code into Java (they actually have multiple implementations of the source code, some using JOGL and some using LWJGL).
Re: Java 3D
Have a look at The Red Book which is available at OpenGL Programming Guide (Addison-Wesley Publishing Company): Table of Contents
Enjoy!
