Adding a Java component to a Scala swing panel

Well, I am trying to get Java3D working in Scala. I came to notice that the Canvas3D is a Component derived class, whereas the scala.swing classed only allow for, well, swing components, either ScalaComponent or JComponent. Here would be my code:

object HelloUniverse extends SimpleSwingApplication {
 def top = new MainFrame {
  title = "Java3D with Scala"

  contents = new BorderPanel {
   val config = SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration()
   val canvas = new Canvas3D(config)

   peer.add(canvas, "Center")
  }
 }
}

So yeah, with the .peer method I get the underlying JPanel. But how would I add a heavyweight component in there?

Thanks for the help.

Solution

  • Try using JCanvas3D. It is based on JPanel. More info at http://download.java.net/media/java3d/javadoc/1.5.0/com/sun/j3d/exp/swing/JCanvas3D.html
