Hi all,

First of all, I would like to thank all of the lwjgl team and everyone on this forum.  Great software and an even better community!

I am an educator in computer science and I'm also a big fan of 3D gaming.  For the longest time, I have been dreaming of using a simple 3d engine to teach OOP concepts.  A couple of years ago, I stumbled across the lwjgl library and it seems to be a very good fit for what I wanted to do - a 3d library in Java that provides good performance!

After a couple of years of (on and off) development, I have finally came up with something that I could use in my teaching.  I called it env3d (http://env3d.sourceforge.net) and it is right now tied to the BlueJ IDE.  Feel free to visit the website and give me some feedback!

Once again, thanks for all the great work!
