There is an article in the NY Times Computer News Daily which I
believe is spurious. The article talks about a security breach in
Java, used in the new netscape Navigator, and that Sun and Netscape
are fixing it. That is not the spurious part. The NY Times article
goes on to suggest that Java, by itself, supports 3D display (i.e.
does scene rendering, 3D matrix teansformation, etc) Probably a
simplification. Java, combined with calls to 3D tools, could probably
do a fair job at it, but not by itself.
Are they correct?
Article Title: Netscape Test Browser Contained Flaw In Sun'S Java (10/11)
`The bug affected a pre-release code of Java that hasn't been
perfected yet,'' said Arthur van Hoff, senior engineer on Sun's Java
team. Sun's Java language provides these-dimensional pictures and
animation on computer scesens.
