JBox2D, a Java 2D physics lib.
Good candidate for physics when the rather limited included physics features of the Victory Engine don't cut it.

I like it, but some of those more intensive simulations slow to a crawl.  Particularly, Domino Tower, Pyramid, and Washing Machine were unacceptably slow.  However, seeing as we aren't doing anything like those, we just have to be careful about what we use and how we use it.

Really, the only "physics" we're doing are just forces.  There is a certain force exerted on an object, causing a certain acceleration.  However, shapes have been bugging me for some time, so having that already done for us is a pretty sweet deal.
