Hope this interests someone...

Noticed over at GameSpy that Java is coming up with a Java Games Profile which is some sort of a standard for developing games in Java:

Inside the Java Games Profile
Hoping to change the face of game development, Sun Microsystems is releasing their plans for doing so at this year's GDC.

When someone mentions Sun Microsystems, what usually comes to mind? Servers? Solaris? Networks? Java? Generally speaking, you're absolutely right. But how many of you said game development? You read correctly. Game development. Sun Microsystems is bringing its enterprise expertise to the gaming industry, specifically its Java technology.

At this year's Game Developers Conference Sun Microsystems is going to release their Java Games Profile "white paper" (an authoritative report on a major issue) detailing to developers exactly what is in the paper and what's to come. After meeting with game developers and asking them what they wanted from the Java platform, the details will finally be told. Sun had the help of key development companies in creating the paper, including: Sony Computer Entertainment, BLAM!, EZ Street Games, Full Sail, Math Engine and GameSpy.

Check out the screenies... It looks as if they're 3D accelerated. BTW, the GDC is schedule to be held from 30-31 August 2002.
