I create a simple concrete version of AWTEvent, create one with my own ID, and
dispatch it to the
active Canvas3D.

with some different conditions, and I was only able to get events through if they were

In Java3D, there is a class EventCatcher (not public)
which implements ComponentListener, FocusListener,
KeyListener, MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, WindowListener
only. This class capture all AWTEvent in Canvas3D and
send it to Behavior scheduler to process.
Your custom AWTEvent will not capture by EventCatcher
since it did not implement your custom interface and
add the custom listeners. Therefore it will not work.
An alternative is to use WakeupOnBehaviorPost instead.
