Take a look at the Wireframe demo too. Many of these demos were include
in the JDK 1.1 around 1997.
Looking at the source code of Java3D,
https://j3d-core.dev.java.net/,
i guess that they had so much fun
writing those demos that they decided to create Java3D out of them.

All 3D API's are based on 2D drawing no matter wich langage you use
( OpenGL, DirectX, C++, etc...). By the way, Java3D is written in Java,
of course. The point of any API is that you don't have to reinvent
the wheel every time you start a new project!

I do not think so!!!!
