Hello Phil:
Since Java3d uses some classes from Java 2, a Java 2 VM is neccessary to
run Java 3D.
I read that the Java Plug-in for 1.3 will have some mechanism for
helping the user to download any "Optional Packages," or even
automatically install any needed "Optional Packages" This new plug in
comes with the 1.3 beta download.
This sounds like a big improvement on the current situation, and is
probably the best download situation one can expect at the moment.
Have a look at http://www.javasoft.com/products/plugin/beta.html :
Optional Package (Standard Extension) installation
If you have ever wrestled with how to ensure your required
optional packages (also known as "standard extensions")
would be installed along with the applet using them, you are
going to find this new feature invaluable. Essentially, it
provides a way to specify in the OBJECT tag the location,
version, and names of all required optional packages and
ensures they are present by automatically loading them.
See Extension Versioning for more information:
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.3/docs/guide/extensions/versioning.html
Hope this somehow helps,
Stuart
