Make sure you are using the JVM that you installed Java 3D into. Ensure
that Java 3D was installed into the same JDK as the command"which java"
points to.
To setup Java Plug-In be sure to follow the steps in the README:
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 ..
