I'm a java programmer, and am interested in writing games. Anyone know of any good Java game resources?

Java is evil incarnate.

Don't Believe what Mr. Grim says for one, though I think for any sort of 3-D type game I'd stick to C/C++.

There used to be a site called javagaming.org, but it is now in limbo.

GameDev.net has a few forums dedicated to Java gaming.

There are quite a few resources out there for Java game development.

Try the following:
- The Java Game Development Center: www.electricfunstuff.com/jgdc/
- GameJUG: gamejug.org/
- Java3D API: java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/

Google should get you plenty of results.

Touchy about your name, are you Brim? I don't think he was making fun of it, I think he was referring to the pessimistic nature of your post. Don't be so quick to judge next time.

Java gaming is still alive, and unfortunately, well. I don't know of any resources, myself, but I would recommend doing some google searchs, as I've run accross a few things about java game programming in the past.

I know that WildTangent web games are all written in MS Java - www.wildtangent.com, not exactly a resource, but definitely worth looking into if you're a Java game developer.
