Background on JGL Background on JGL Java is a computer language created by Sun Technologies. From simple jump boxes to interactive games, Java provides a way to gain sleekness and interactivity in a media that can people all around the world. As technology has grown, and with it the demand for bigger and better things, Java has grown as well. As users found that basic Java did not meet all of their needs, this Java add-on was developed. The problem with VRML is each system has its own special VRML browsers and plug-ins to download.
Problems arise trying to port from platform to platform.
Java based graphics, however, do not run into this problem as Java was specifically designed to run on multiple platforms. Since Java is universal, this allows the creation of a web-3D environment anywhere. As with OpenGL, movable, realistic images can be achieved using the new JGL graphics package. The programmer can define the object's rotation, color, and more. The file is compiled as any other Java program would using the Java Compiler and a normal Java class is created.
