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.

The ScalaCanvas3D API provides Scala Swing components for heavyweight and lightweigth Java 3D rendering. See 'Java 3D meets Scala' for more details, sample programs, and downloads : http://www.interactivemesh.org/testspace/j3dmeetsscala.html

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
