I'm wondering how suitable Jython would be right now for easy-to-install
educational 3D apps in Python (e.g. PySqueak/PataPata, but could just as
well be any Python 3D app that runs under Jython).
So, I would be curious, for those who care to try it, what percentage of
people on the edusig list who go to this Java 3D site,
https://j3d-webstart.dev.java.net/test/
and click on one of the web start links, will actually see a 3D
application window open up on their system and run properly without much
effort?
This is the simplest test (a rotating cube) so you could just click here:
http://download.java.net/media/java3d/webstart/test/HelloUniverse.jnlp
One click and you are done (in theory, if your machine has a JVM installed
and web start enabled).
On my Debian GNU/Linux system, the first was a 4.6 MB download, after
accepting a couple of Verisign certificate from Sun for trusted code. Then
it just worked. After that, the other apps did not require much of a
download, and all just worked. However, I've done lots in the past related
to Jython and Java (including enabling web start for some tests), so my
system certainly is far from being a stock one.

So far, we have:
Debian/Gnome -- Yes
Mac OS X -- Yes
Debian/KDE -- No; No window
VMWare Windows 2000 under Debian -- No; Empty window.

If you try it, please mention what OS you tried it on too (Mac OS X, Win
2000, Debian GNU/Linux, etc.). Negative reports very much wanted too, so
if you try and it fails, please let us know. Having webstart disabled
maybe should count as a negative report, although I'd be curious the app
it did run after enabling and how hard the issue was to resolve.
