Dave,
The goal is to fix the bugs at the bottom of the README prior to the
FCS release of Java 3D 1.2.1. We will also be putting out a Beta 2
for 1.2.1 once we have fixed a critical mass of bugs reported in 1.2.1.

> Java 3D(TM) 1.2.1 Beta
>
> README file for Solaris/SPARC/OpenGL
>
> This file contains important information for users of Java 3D(TM).
> The first four sections (Requirements, Installation, Shared
> Contexts, and Running Java 3D(TM) in a Browser) are of interest
> to all Java 3D(TM) users. The rest of this file applies only to
> developers of Java 3D(TM) applications.
>
> ** It is recommended that any previous version of Java 3D(TM) be
> ** uninstalled before installing this version.
>
> ============
> REQUIREMENTS
> ============
>
> This version of Java 3D(TM) for Solaris/SPARC requires the following:
>
> Java 2 Runtime or SDK version 1.2.2 or later from Sun Microsystems.
> It is recommended that you use the production release
> (www.sun.com/solaris/java) but you may use the
> reference implementation
> (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-solaris.html).
> If you are using the reference implementation, you must use
> native threads. Green threads are not supported.
>
> Frame Buffer with OpenGL support (Expert3D, Elite3D, Creator3D,
> PGX).
>
> Solaris 2.7 or later.
>
> OpenGL 1.2.1 for Solaris or later.
> To find your current version, use `pkginfo -l SUNWglrt`
> OpenGL for Solaris can be obtained at
> http://www.sun.com/solaris/opengl
>
> PATCHES
>
> There are no patches required for Solaris 8.
>
> Solaris 7 requires the Kernel Update patch (106541-06 or later)
> which fixes a bug on multi-processor systems that can lock up
> the window system when running a Java 3D program with more than
> one active window:
>
> Use `showrev -p` to list installed patches. Patches can be
> downloaded for free from http://sunsolve.sun.com/.
>
> ============
> INSTALLATION
> ============
>
> You must have permission to write files in your Java(TM) Runtime
> Environment and/or SDK directories. If you do not have this
> permission, the installer will run to completion but Java 3D(TM)
> will not be installed. Make sure you are running Java(TM) from
> your local machine and that you are the same user who installed
> Java.
>
> To install Java 3D(TM), execute the Java 3D(TM) GUI Installer
> program from any directory:
>
> Runtime only: java3d1_2_1beta1-solsparc-rt-ia.bin
> Runtime and SDK: java3d1_2_1beta1-solsparc-sdk-ia.bin
>
> After accepting the license agreement and viewing this file,
> you will be asked to select which Java(TM) VM to upgrade
> with Java 3D(TM). JVMs from your PATH will be listed, or
> you may choose a different one by selecting its 'java'
> executable.
>
> After installation, you may remove the executable GUI installer.
>
> The Java 3D(TM) SDK includes several demo programs that can
> verify correct installation. Assuming your Java 2 SDK is installed
> at ~/j2sdk1.3.0_01, try the following:
>
> cd ~/j2sdk1.3.0_01/demo/java3d/HelloUniverse
> java HelloUniverse
>
> Note: Many more demos are available under the demo/java3d/
> directory. Some of the demos require a maximum memory
> pool larger than the default in java. To increase the
> maximum memory pool to 64 megabytes, add the following
> command line options to java or appletviewer:
> java: -mx64m
> appletviewer: -J-mx64m
>
> Make sure you have the SUNWi1of package (optional fonts) installed by
> running `pkginfo SUNWi1of`. If not present, you may see error messages
> like this:
>
> Font specified in font.properties not found
> [-b&h-lucida sans typewriter-bold-r-normal-sans-*-%d-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1]
> ...
>
> Java 3D(TM) consists of four jar files and two shared libraries.
> You do not need to include the jar files in your CLASSPATH,
> nor do you need to include the shared libraries in your PATH.
> You should include "." in your CLASSPATH or ensure that CLASSPATH
> is not set.
>
> Java 3D documentation and tutorials are available from the Java 3D(TM)
> Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
>
> ===============
> SHARED CONTEXTS
> ===============
>
> This version of Java 3D is able to use shared contexts in OpenGL for Display
> Lists and Texture Objects. For single canvas applications, there will be no
> change in behavior. For multiple canvas applications, memory requirements
> will decrease by using this property. To enable the use of shared contexts
> set the j3d.sharedctx property to true, for example:
>
> java -Dj3d.sharedctx=true MyProgram
>
>
> ================================
> RUNNING JAVA 3D(TM) IN A BROWSER
> ================================
>
> Java 3D programs can be run in Netscape Communicator on Solaris
> with the Java(TM) Plug-IN (JPI) installed:
>
> Solaris 8 includes Netscape and the JPI.
>
> For Solaris 7 users, Netscape Communicator may be downloaded
> for free from http://www.sun.com/solaris/netscape. Patches
> may be required (see the website for details).
>
> Netscape Communicator 6.0 automatically includes the JPI.
>
> Java 1.3 also includes the JPI. The Control Panel will
> be at ~/j2sdk1.3.0_01/jre/ControlPanel.html.
>
> If you are using Solaris 7, Java 1.2.2, and Netscape 4.51, 4.7,
> or 4.74, you need to download and install the JPI from
> http://www.sun.com/solaris/netscape/jpis. NOTE: requires
> membership to the JDC. More patches may be required
> (see the website for details). If you install it in
> the default location (/opt/NSCPcom) the control panel
> will be at file:/opt/NSCPcom/j2pi/ControlPanel.html.
>
> You need to set the NPX_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable
> to the directory containing the JPI. For example, you you
> are using the JPI from Java 1.3 installed in ~/j2sdk1.3.0_01,
> do 'setenv NPX_PLUGIN_PATH ~/j2sdk1.3.0_01/jre/plugin/sparc'
> before starting Netscape. The default is /opt/NSCPcom.
>
> There is a bug in the Solaris JPI 1.2.2 that keeps it
> from finding Java extensions in the lib/ext/ directory
> where they are kept. If you are not using JPI 1.3, you need to
> copy the four .jar files from the lib/ext/ directory to the
> lib/ directory as follows:
>
> cd $SDKHOME/jre/lib/ext
> cp j3daudio.jar ..
> cp j3dcore.jar ..
> cp j3dutils.jar ..
> cp vecmath.jar ..
>
> To verify proper installation, point your browser to
> file:/home/myhome/j2sdk1.3.0_01/demo/java3d/index.html
>
> If it seems like Java 3D isn't installed, make sure the JPI
> is using the JVM you've upgraded with Java 3D(TM). Run the
> JPI Control Panel and click on the "Advanced" tab to change
> the JVM associated with the JPI. Under "Java Run Time
> Environment" choose "Other..." and Enter the path to your
> JVM in the 'Path:' box (for example,
> /home/myhome/j2sdk1.3.0_01/jre). Press "Apply." (Note:
> choose the directory above the 'bin' directory.)
>
> NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
> than the default 16M in the JPI. In the Control Panel
> "Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m" for 64M of heap memory.
>
> To create a web page with Java 3D, you need to use special HTML
> code to force the browser to use the JPI VM. Refer to the
> following URL for information on using Java Plug-In "HTML
> Converter" and running applets using Java Plug-in:

> ====================================================
> DISTRIBUTING Java 3D(TM) WITH YOUR JAVA(TM) PROGRAMS
> ====================================================
>
> Sun Microsystems allows vendors to distribute the Java 3D(TM) Runtime
> environment with their Java programs, provided they follow the terms
> of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License agreement.
>
> This document uses the term "vendors" to refer to licensees,
> developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and
> distribute Java 3D(TM) with their Java programs.
>
> REQUIRED vs. OPTIONAL FILES
> ---------------------------
> Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License
> agreement, which includes these terms:
>
> - Don't arbitrarily subset Java 3D(TM). You may, however, omit those
> files that have been designated below as "optional".
>
> - Include in your product's license the provisions called out
> in the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License.
>
> BUNDLING Java 3D(TM)
> --------------------
> Java 3D(TM) comes with its own installer that makes it suitable for
> downloading by end users. Java(TM) application developers have the
> option of not bundling Java 3D(TM) with their software. Instead,
> they can direct end-users to download and install the Java 3D(TM)
> software themselves.
>
> Required Files
> --------------
>
> When bundling Java 3D(TM) with your application, the following files
> must be included (Solaris):
>
> <JREDIR>/lib/sparc/J3D.so
> <JREDIR>/lib/sparc/j3daudio.so
> <JREDIR>/lib/ext/vecmath.jar
> <JREDIR>/lib/ext/j3dcore.jar
> <JREDIR>/lib/ext/j3daudio.jar
> <JREDIR>/lib/ext/j3dutils.jar
>
> Optional Files
> --------------
>
> An application developer may include these files and directories
> with their Java 3D(TM) application, but is not required to do so:
>
> <JDKDIR>/j3d-utils-src.jar
> <JDKDIR>/demo/java3d

> =======================
> Constructing a Canvas3D
> =======================
>
> Many Java 3D programs pass null to the Canvas3D constructor. By doing
> this, Java 3D will select a default GraphicsConfiguration that is
> appropriate for Java 3D. However, this is a bad practice, and can lead
> to errors when applications try to run in alternate environments, such as
> stereo viewing. Java 3D will now print out a warning if the Canvas3D
> constructor is passed in a null argument for the GraphicsConfiguration.
>
> =========
> Utilities
> =========
>
> This release includes utilities for Java 3D. These utilities are still
> being defined and under development. Much of the source for these utilities
> is also provided. The API for these utilities may change in future
> releases.
>
> The following utilities are provided in this release:
>
> - Java Sound Audio Device
> - Some predefined Mouse based behaviors
> - Picking utilities including predefined picking behaviors
> - Geometry creation classes for Box, Cone, Cylinder, and Sphere
> - A Text2D utility
> - A Universe Builder - SimpleUniverse
> - An Image Loading utility
> - A Normal Generator utility
> - A Polygon Triangulator utility
> - Triangle stripifier
> - Geometry compression utilities
> - Spline-based path interpolators
> - Wavefront .obj loader
> - Lightwave 3D File Loader
>
> ===================================
> Enabling Stereo with SimpleUniverse
> ===================================
>
> The SimpleUniverse utility does not, by default, request a
> GraphicsConfiguration that is capable of Stereo rendering. To enable this,
> you need to set a property when running your application. Here is an
> example.
>
> java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED MyProgram
>
> Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
> and right eyes. If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
> following property:
>
> java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram

> Java 3D(TM) 1.2.1 Beta
>
> README file for Win32/DirectX
>
> This file contains important information for users of Java 3D(TM).
> The first three sections (Requirements, Installation, and Running
> Java 3D(TM) in a Browser) are of interest to all Java 3D(TM) users.
> The rest of this file applies only to developers of Java 3D(TM)
> applications.
>
> ** It is recommended that any previous version of Java 3D(TM) be
> ** uninstalled before installing this version.
>
> ============
> REQUIREMENTS
> ============
>
> This version of Java 3D(TM) for Windows 98 and Windows 2000
> requires the following:
>
> Java 2 (Runtime or SDK) version 1.2.2 or later from Sun
> Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/jdk/). This includes
> the Java Plug-In (JPI) to update Java(TM) in your browser.
>
> DirectX 7.0 or later, available from Microsoft
> (http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp).
>
> ============
> INSTALLATION
> ============
>
> You must have permission to write files in your Java(TM) Runtime
> Environment and/or SDK directories. If you do not have this
> permission, the installer will run to completion but Java 3D(TM)
> will not be installed. Make sure you are running Java(TM) from
> your local machine and that you are the same user who installed
> Java.
>
> To install Java 3D(TM), execute the Java 3D(TM) GUI Installer
> program from any directory:
>
> Runtime only: java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-directx-rt-ia.bin
> Runtime and SDK: java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-directx-sdk-ia.bin
>
> The installers will upgrade your most recently installed Java
> Runtime Environment and SDK.
>
> After installation, you may remove the executable GUI installer.
>
> The Java 3D(TM) SDK includes several demo programs that can
> verify correct installation. Assuming your Java 2 SDK is installed
> at \jdk1.3, try the following:
>
> cd \jdk1.3\demo\java3d\HelloUniverse
> java HelloUniverse
>
> Note: Many more demos are available under the demo\java3d\
> directory. Some of the demos require a maximum memory
> pool larger than the default in java. To increase the
> maximum memory pool to 64 meg, add the following command
> line options to java or appletviewer:
> java: -mx64m
> appletviewer: -J-mx64m
>
>
> Java 3D(TM) consists of four jar files and two shared libraries.
> You do not need to include the jar files in your CLASSPATH,
> nor do you need to include the shared libraries in your PATH.
> You should include "." in your CLASSPATH or ensure that CLASSPATH
> is not set.
>
> Java 3D documentation and tutorials are available from the Java 3D(TM)
> Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
>
>
> ================================
> RUNNING JAVA 3D(TM) IN A BROWSER
> ================================
>
> You can run Java 3D(TM) programs in your browser. Java 2(TM)
> from Sun includes the Java Plug-In (JPI) to upgrade the Java(TM)
> in the browser to Java 2(TM). To verify proper installation,
> point your browser to file:/jdk1.3/demo/java3d/index.html
>
> NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
> than the default 16M in the JPI. Run the Java Plug-In Control
> Panel from Start/Programs (JPI 1.2.2) or Start/Settings/Control
> Panel (JPI 1.3) and in "Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m"
> for 64M of heap memory.
>
> To create a web page with Java 3D, you need to use special HTML
> code to force the browser to use the JPI VM. Refer to the
> following URL for information on using Java Plug-In "HTML
> Converter" and running applets using Java Plug-in:
>
> http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/
>
> ====================================================
> DISTRIBUTING Java 3D(TM) WITH YOUR JAVA(TM) PROGRAMS
> ====================================================
>
> Sun Microsystems allows vendors to distribute the Java 3D(TM) Runtime
> environment with their Java programs, provided they follow the terms
> of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License agreement.
>
> This document uses the term "vendors" to refer to licensees,
> developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and
> distribute Java 3D(TM) with their Java programs.
>
> REQUIRED vs. OPTIONAL FILES
> ---------------------------
> Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License
> agreement, which includes these terms:
>
> - Don't arbitrarily subset Java 3D(TM). You may, however, omit those
> files that have been designated below as "optional".
>
> - Include in your product's license the provisions called out
> in the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License.
>
> BUNDLING Java 3D(TM)
> --------------------
> Java 3D(TM) comes with its own installer that makes it suitable for
> downloading by end users. Java(TM) application developers have the
> option of not bundling Java 3D(TM) with their software. Instead,
> they can direct end-users to download and install the Java 3D(TM)
> software themselves.

> =======================
> Constructing a Canvas3D
> =======================
>
> Many Java 3D programs pass null to the Canvas3D constructor. By doing
> this, Java 3D will select a default GraphicsConfiguration that is
> appropriate for Java 3D. However, this is a bad practice, and can lead
> to errors when applications try to run in alternate environments, such as
> stereo viewing. Java 3D will now print out a warning if the Canvas3D
> constructor is passed in a null argument for the GraphicsConfiguration.
>
> =========
> Utilities
> =========
>
> This release includes utilities for Java 3D. These utilities are still
> being defined and under development. Much of the source for these utilities
> is also provided. The API for these utilities may change in future
> releases.
>
> The following utilities are provided in this release:
>
> - Java Sound Audio Device
> - Some predefined Mouse based behaviors
> - Picking utilities including predefined picking behaviors
> - Geometry creation classes for Box, Cone, Cylinder, and Sphere
> - A Text2D utility
> - A Universe Builder - SimpleUniverse
> - An Image Loading utility
> - A Normal Generator utility
> - A Polygon Triangulator utility
> - Triangle stripifier
> - Geometry compression utilities
> - Spline-based path interpolators
> - Wavefront .obj loader
> - Lightwave 3D File Loader
>
> ===================================
> Enabling Stereo with SimpleUniverse
> ===================================
>
> The SimpleUniverse utility does not, by default, request a
> GraphicsConfiguration that is capable of Stereo rendering. To enable this,
> you need to set a property when running your application. Here is an
> example.
>
> java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED MyProgram
>
> Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
> and right eyes. If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
> following property:
>
> java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram
>
>
> =====================================================
> Information on the Direct3D Implementation of Java 3D
> =====================================================
>
> Unsupported Features
> --------------------
> The following features are currently unsupported in the Direct3D
> implementation of Java 3D:
> Line width
> Line antialiasing
> Point size
> Point antialiasing
> RenderingAttributes ROP_XOR
> PolygonAttributes Back face normal flip
> 3D Texture
> Texture color table
>
> Limited Support
> ---------------
> FullScreen antialiasing is supported only if the device returns
> D3DPRASTERCAPS_ANTIALIASSORTINDEPENDENT in its raster capabilities
> list. (OpenGL supports fullscreen antialiasing if an accumulation
> buffer exists.)
>
> TransparencyAttributes.TransparencyMode values FASTEST, NICEST and
> SCREEN_DOOR are the same as BLENDED under D3D.
>
> Texture coordinates outside the range [0,1] when boundaryModeS
> and boundaryModeT are set to CLAMP will not use the Texture Boundary'
> color unless BASE_LEVEL_LINEAR filtering is turned on.
>
> Only negative polygon offsets are supported. The limit of this offset
> corresponds to the depth of the z-buffer.
>
> The vertex count is limited to 65535 vertices per primitive.
>
> Fullscreen Support
> ------------------------
> The Direct3D implementation of Java 3D can be run in fullscreen mode.
> To start an application in fullscreen mode, use the property
> j3d.fullscreen.
> The values for j3d.fullscreen are:
> REQUIRED - A fullscreen canvas is required. If not available, do not
> start up the application.
> PREFERRED - A fullscreen canvas is desired for this invocation of the
> Java 3D application. If a fullscreen canvas cannot be
> created, a windowed canvas is acceptable.
> UNNECESSARY - States that a fullscreen canvas is not necessary for this
> application. Create a windowed application (this is the
> same behavior as not setting this property).
>
> Example:
> java -Dj3d.fullscreen=REQUIRED HelloUniverse
>
> Further, an application can be toggled between fullscreen and windowed
> mode
> by use of the <Alt><Enter> keyboard combination.
>
> Stereo Support
> --------------
> Java 3D can render in stereo mode on graphics cards that support stereo
> through Direct3D. To enable stereo for a Java 3D application, use
> the Java 3D property: j3d.stereo.
>
> For example:
> java -Dj3d.stereo=REQUIRED
> The valid values for the j3d.stereo property are the same as those for the
> j3d.fullscreen property given above.
>
> Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
> and right eyes. If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
> following property:
>
> java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED -Dj3d.sharedstereozbuffer=true MyProgram
>
> NOTE: Direct3D only supports stereo mode for a fullscreen canvas.
>
>
> Direct3D Device Selection
> -------------------------
> In order to aid in development and debugging, Java 3D has added a property
> to allow the D3DDevice to use for rendering to be selected. The property,
> j3d.d3ddevice can have the following values:
> tnlhardware - select a device that supports transform and lighting in
> hardware, if present. If no such device is present,
> a dialog box is displayed to alert the user and the
> application will exit.
> hardware - select a Direct3D device that performs hardware
> rasterization, if present. If no such device is present,
> a dialog box is displayed to alert the user and the
> application will exit.
> emulation - use Direct3D software emulation.
> reference - use the Direct3D reference pipeline (only available if
> the Direct3D SDK is installed).
>
> By default Java 3D first tries to select a TnLhardaware device, if that
> fails
> a Hardware device, if that also fails then finally Java 3D selects an
> Emulation device.
>
> Vertex Buffer optimization
> ---------------------------
>
> By default, DirectX vertex buffer features are used to increase
> performance whenever the OpenGL display list feature would be
> used. If there is a problem with your driver's implementation
> of vertex buffers, turn off this optimization:
>
> -Dj3d.vertexbuffer=false
>
> Ignored Java 3D Properties
> --------------------------
> The following Java 3D properties are ignored by the Direct3D
> implementation:
> j3d.sharedctx
> j3d.g2ddrawpixel

> Java 3D(TM) 1.2.1 Beta
>
> README file for Win32/OpenGL
>
> This file contains important information for users of Java 3D(TM).
> The first four sections (Requirements, Installation, Shared
> Contexts, and Running Java 3D(TM) in a Browser) are of interest
> to all Java 3D(TM) users. The rest of this file applies only to
> developers of Java 3D(TM) applications.
>
> ** It is recommended that any previous version of Java 3D(TM) be
> ** uninstalled before installing this version.
>
> ============
> REQUIREMENTS
> ============
>
> This version of Java 3D(TM) for WindowsNT 4.0,
> Windows 98, and Windows 2000 requires the following:
>
> Java 2 (Runtime or SDK) version 1.2.2 or later from Sun
> Microsystems (http://java.sun.com/jdk/). This includes
> the Java Plug-In (JPI) to update Java(TM) in your browser.
>
> OpenGL 1.1 or later, available from Microsoft or from
> your graphics card manufacturer (see below).
>
> NT 4.0 only: Service Pack 3 or later.
>
> ============
> INSTALLATION
> ============
>
> You must have permission to write files in your Java(TM) Runtime
> Environment and/or SDK directories. If you do not have this
> permission, the installer will run to completion but Java 3D(TM)
> will not be installed. Make sure you are running Java(TM) from
> your local machine and that you are the same user who installed
> Java.
>
> To install Java 3D(TM), execute the Java 3D(TM) GUI Installer
> program from any directory:
>
> Runtime only: java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-opengl-rt-ia.bin
> Runtime and SDK: java3d1_2_1beta1-win32-opengl-sdk-ia.bin
>
> The installers upgrade your most recently installed Java Runtime
> Environment and SDK.
>
> After installation, you may remove the executable GUI installer.
>
> The Java 3D(TM) SDK includes several demo programs that can
> verify correct installation. Assuming your Java 2 SDK is installed
> at \jdk1.3, try the following:
>
> cd \jdk1.3\demo\java3d\HelloUniverse
> java HelloUniverse
>
> Note: Many more demos are available under the demo\java3d\
> directory. Some of the demos require a maximum memory
> pool larger than the default in java. To increase the
> maximum memory pool to 64 meg, add the following command
> line options to java or appletviewer:
> java: -mx64m
> appletviewer: -J-mx64m
>
> If, after installation, you get the following error message while
> running a Java 3D program:
>
> java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no J3D in shared library path
>
> it is most likely because OpenGL and/or the OpenGL GLU utilities are
> not installed on the machine.
>
> For information on OpenGL and how to get it, see the OpenGL web page at
> http://www.opengl.org/
>
> Java 3D(TM) consists of four jar files and two shared libraries.
> You do not need to include the jar files in your CLASSPATH,
> nor do you need to include the shared libraries in your PATH.
> You should include "." in your CLASSPATH or ensure that CLASSPATH
> is not set.
>
> Java 3D documentation and tutorials are available from the Java 3D(TM)
> Home Page: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/
>
> ===============
> SHARED CONTEXTS
> ===============
>
> This version of Java 3D is able to use shared contexts in OpenGL for Display
> Lists and Texture Objects. For single canvas applications, there will be no
> change in behavior. For multiple canvas applications, memory requirements
> will decrease by using this property. To enable the use of shared contexts
> set the j3d.sharedctx property to true, for example:
>
> java -Dj3d.sharedctx=true MyProgram
>
>
> Some video cards, such as the Riva TNT & TNT2, have problems using shared
> contexts. If you are experiencing no rendering, crashes, or no textures
> being displayed when shared contexts are enabled, this is the most likely
> problem.
>
> ================================
> RUNNING JAVA 3D(TM) IN A BROWSER
> ================================
>
> You can run Java 3D(TM) programs in your browser. Java 2(TM)
> from Sun includes the Java Plug-In (JPI) to upgrade the Java(TM)
> in the browser to Java 2(TM). To verify proper installation,
> point your browser to file:/jdk1.3/demo/java3d/index.html
>
> NOTE: Many Java 3D(TM) programs will require a larger heap size
> than the default 16M in the JPI. Run the Java Plug-In Control
> Panel from Start/Programs (JPI 1.2.2) or Start/Settings/Control
> Panel (JPI 1.3) and in "Java Run Time Parameters" put "mx64m"
> for 64M of heap memory.
>
> To create a web page with Java 3D, you need to use special HTML
> code to force the browser to use the JPI VM. Refer to the
> following URL for information on using Java Plug-In "HTML
> Converter" and running applets using Java Plug-in:
>
> http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/
>
> ====================================================
> DISTRIBUTING Java 3D(TM) WITH YOUR JAVA(TM) PROGRAMS
> ====================================================
>
> Sun Microsystems allows vendors to distribute the Java 3D(TM) Runtime
> environment with their Java programs, provided they follow the terms
> of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License agreement.
>
> This document uses the term "vendors" to refer to licensees,
> developers, and independent software vendors (ISVs) who license and
> distribute Java 3D(TM) with their Java programs.
>
> REQUIRED vs. OPTIONAL FILES
> ---------------------------
> Vendors must follow the terms of the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License
> agreement, which includes these terms:
>
> - Don't arbitrarily subset Java 3D(TM). You may, however, omit those
> files that have been designated below as "optional".
>
> - Include in your product's license the provisions called out
> in the Java 3D(TM) Evaluation License.
>
> BUNDLING Java 3D(TM)
> --------------------
> Java 3D(TM) comes with its own installer that makes it suitable for
> downloading by end users. Java(TM) application developers have the
> option of not bundling Java 3D(TM) with their software. Instead,
> they can direct end-users to download and install the Java 3D(TM)
> software themselves.

> =======================
> Constructing a Canvas3D
> =======================
>
> Many Java 3D programs pass null to the Canvas3D constructor. By doing
> this, Java 3D will select a default GraphicsConfiguration that is
> appropriate for Java 3D. However, this is a bad practice, and can lead
> to errors when applications try to run in alternate environments, such as
> stereo viewing. Java 3D will now print out a warning if the Canvas3D
> constructor is passed in a null argument for the GraphicsConfiguration.
>
> =========
> Utilities
> =========
>
> This release includes utilities for Java 3D. These utilities are still
> being defined and under development. Much of the source for these utilities
> is also provided. The API for these utilities may change in future
> releases.
>
> The following utilities are provided in this release:
>
> - Java Sound Audio Device
> - Some predefined Mouse based behaviors
> - Picking utilities including predefined picking behaviors
> - Geometry creation classes for Box, Cone, Cylinder, and Sphere
> - A Text2D utility
> - A Universe Builder - SimpleUniverse
> - An Image Loading utility
> - A Normal Generator utility
> - A Polygon Triangulator utility
> - Triangle stripifier
> - Geometry compression utilities
> - Spline-based path interpolators
> - Wavefront .obj loader
> - Lightwave 3D File Loader
>
> ===================================
> Enabling Stereo with SimpleUniverse
> ===================================
>
> The SimpleUniverse utility does not, by default, request a
> GraphicsConfiguration that is capable of Stereo rendering. To enable this,
> you need to set a property when running your application. Here is an
> example.
>
> java -Dj3d.stereo=PREFERRED MyProgram
>
> Some framebuffers only have one Z buffer and share this between the left
> and right eyes. If you are experiencing problems using stereo try the
> following property:
