Well what if I do not know anything about Solaris, TAR or GZIP? My point is
that it should be made easier for developers to distribute their
applications with java3d included without having to think about all these
issues.
Maybe this could simply be a webpage on the Sun Developer connection site
for Java3D that allow developers to download a "developer" edition of java3d
suitable for popping into application distributions.
Yes, I can do as you suggest, but how many couldn't. There has to be a
better way.

What's stopping you from downloading the solaris install and pulling it
apart with Winzip? It's basically just a tar.gz file with a korn shell
script header to disassemble itself. Just rename the file .tar.Z, strip
the header in a text editor and run winzip over it :) Worked last time I
had to do this about 12 months ago, so should (theoretically) work now.
