Hey, I head AWT is deprecated as a window toolkit, so we're supposed to use Swing. Is this true?
Also what's the best way to execute a Java3D application? From a Jframe? or a Frame? Or a J/Window? Or maybe a J/Panel?
I already tried scouring the Java forums, however, since Sun has decided to make it's site absolutely impossible to navigate, i'm left all alone. The documentation for specific features of java is aboslutely horrific.
Does anyone have any experience with Java3D? i'm trying to get a game framework up.
2) Also I heard you can program C and use the code in Java, does anyone know how to do this? I heard the timer for Java is really ****ty, and you're supposed to code one yourself in c or C++, but I can't find any info on using Java and C/C++ together, any suggestions?

The framework itself has not been deprecated, but alot of its native objects and methods have been.

Thw following page list the deprecated methods and their replacments: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/post1.0/converting/deprecatedAWT.html

I have done all of my swing work within a JFrame or a JPanel that resides within a JFrame.

Regards.
