Thanks for your suggestion. However, I don't think that it should be asking
too much
to have us be able to point to SUN'S web site to install Java3D. Your
example manifest points
to YOUR web site and YOUR custom installer. Why doesn't the Sun 3D team give
us a few lines that
we can add to a manifest to automatically install Java3D, WITHOUT each of us
having
to write our own installer and store that installer on our own web sites!

Extension mechanism works only in JRE1.3RC3 or higher (eg, in final
version). The manifest files are attached. (they r quite simple, so
u'd easily figure out what to change there.
