Irrlicht Engine

I never claimed that Java isn't similar to C++ in some aspects and i know that your quote is correct. I just think that it's narrow minded to judge the language based on only that. Whatever its origins are, today Java is no longer a "language for washing machines". It's a very powerfull language for ...

So you are judging the whole language based on this quote from a book your brother uses at uni? Thinking that Java is just a version of C just shows that you never actually used it.

You obviously don't have a clue about what Java is and how it works, what it is targetted for and so on. Maybe we should stop this pointless discussion here and get back to the topic of this thread?

I don't know of any commercial games that have been programmed in Java. There are a few. Large parts of IL2 were written in Java, Chrome used it for all of its scripting, there was an adventure that was written using Java3d (can't remember the name) and some independent game developers are using it ...

Or have a look at jPCT (http://www.jpct.net). Most people are ignoring it, when it comes to 3D stuff in Java and i really don't know why...

Writing an Irrlicht-wrapper for Java is pointless IMHO. There are already some usefull 3d engines as well as OpenGL-wrappers available for Java and a modern JVM is fast enough to do anything that Irrlicht does at a reasonable speed.
