accurate Solar System PLZ HELP!

843799Jul 7 2006 — edited Aug 16 2006

hey
need some help!

im new to programming and just starting out. im trying to make a virtual solar system and i have figured out how to make one sphere rotate around another in java 3d.
this is all fine but its not accurate and doesnt take into account keplers laws or newtons law of gravitation.
basically the problem is that i need to calculate the position of each planet and then change its coordinates and so on.
Any ideas?
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GRATEFUL
