Okay, I'm not sure if there are updates, but here's my take:

In OrthoViewpoint.java,

This code (XML output) looks like this:

                        if ((((getFieldOfView().length > 0)
).equals(FIELDOFVIEW_DEFAULT_VALUE)) ||
!ConfigurationProperties.getStripDefaultAttributes()) /* ArrayList .x3d
compare */ && !hasUSE())
                        {
                                stringX3D.append("
fieldOfView='").append(MFFloat.toString(getFieldOfView())).append("'");
                        }

The condition for VRML output looks better, but I haven't tested it.

                                if (((getFieldOfView().length > 0) &&
!getFieldOfViewList().equals(FIELDOFVIEW_DEFAULT_VALUE)) ||
!ConfigurationProperties.getStripDefaultAttributes()) /* ArrayList .x3dv
compare */
                                {

stringClassicVRML.append("fieldOfView ").append("[
").append(MFFloat.toString(getFieldOfView())).append("
]").append("\n").append(indent).append(indentCharacter);
                                }

There's an ant target for just rebuilding one file, and building Jars, so I
can just modify OrthoViewpiont.java, that would be useful information:


I am not prepared to debug XSLT.  But I see the comment you put there, so I
will go hunting.

I'm certainly hoping you will quickly upstream my code if I find a fix.

John
