Been working on this for quite a while now, so here it is:
http://3dviewr.com is a web based viewer for sharing 3d models in COLLADA format. It is using a Java applet with LWJGL for displaying models.
Main features:
- Supports color, spec and nomral maps
- Can show wireframe inorder to inspect model topology
- Supports skinned animated meshes
As a bonus the Java library it uses for parsing COLLADA (dae4j) has also been open sourced: http://sourceforge.net/p/dae4j

Finally got skinned animation working correctly with latest blender pepper branch :)

Not exactly oscar worthy animation though ;D
This is really sweet. Would you mind if we integrate this in libgdx? (http://www.libgdx.com). Would you be interested in joining us and help us out with the 3D API?
Great work, keep it up!

Integrating is fine, as long as you feed any bug-fixes or other changes back to dae4j (hence the LGPL license).
I wouldn't mind trying to help out, but between day job, 3dviewr, blender and family my spare time is a bit limited :) ... anyway you can find me on irc as pjoe in #lwjgl or #blendercollada (I'm located in Denmark, so CET timezone)
Thanks a ton. We'll of course honor the LGPL (as we honor the licences of all the libs we integrate). Your loader will be put into a pre-processing tool and will not become part of the core API. Thanks a ton for this!
