What is the best package for game developing in Java; I work with JITTers but it's too weak for example how can I make a game such as Splinter Cell Conviction? :)

What is the best in Java?

JMonkey Engine is quite good. It's a scenegraph engine which is layered on top of LWJGL or JOGL. It's quite nice. A couple of years ago, we were using Irrlicht with Java. We switched over to JMonkey Engine, and found it to be much easier to do what we needed.

You may want to have a look at jirr, the Java binding to Irrlicht. It's a bit outdated (latest Irrlicht version is 1.7, jirr only up to 1.4.x). It contains mostly 3D stuff, so it's not a full game engine library.

There's also LWJGL (Lightweight Java Game Library), but I've never used that.
