Im looking to port my current Game into a Java Applet. THe rendering code should not be a problem because JoGL is quite mature. The problem is with my Physics engine. Currently I use an older version of Novodex, that can only run on a windows machine. I know that you can load DLLs from inside java but Ill leave that as a last hope scenario. I was wondering if there is a 3D physics Library out there that can do similar things to Novodex. Such as Collision, Springs, Firction, etc. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

JOGL is an abstraction of OpenGL for Java, not a game mechanic engine. I seen some work on a perfect port of the ODE into Java, so you might look at it. On the other hand ODE is so botched it's better to roll your own engine.
