A friend says "www.openscenegraph.org <http://www.openscenegraph.org> , 
scenegraph manager, as for physics there is something called ODE that 
works nice with mentioned openscenegraph. Java is not my area"
but it looks like there are Java wrappers for openscenegraph, I don't 
have any idea whether this is useful
for you or not. Includes an ODE (Open Dynamics Engine) demo at 
http://www.openscenegraph.org/osgwiki/uploads/Tutorials/LMBs_ODE_Demo.zip
