Sun has stated that they are no longer focusing on improvements to the Java3D API. The official announcement is at:
https://java3d.dev.java.net/servlets/NewsItemView?newsItemID=5689 http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=36022
As you can see, Sun itself is shifting their focus to a new 3D scenegraph API that will ultimately be a part of JavaFX.
Otherwise, there are numerous high-quality 3D APIs available for Java (eg, JMonkeyEngine or Ogre3D), or you can always use lowlevel APIs such as JOGL and LWJGL.
