Hi Developing a 3D chess game using xith3D and would like to distribute the game as a .jar file. to use xith3d in this manner requires the jar spec to handle .dll files. I''ve just posted on javagaming.org and was told to the best of their knowlege that the jar spec doesn''t support .dll files so i''ll have to write a script and maybe not package the game in the jar file. Can anyone else give us a second opinion on this??

Package the game as a Webstart application instead, which does all the things you would otherwise like to do with jars but can''t.

Massively better way to distribute software than any other I''ve come across.
