Hmm that's funny some filepointers must still be pointing on it.

Yes I had that error once before also. I wrote to the makers of Portfolio
about this but haven't got an reply until now (which is about 2 months
ago). When you look inside the JAR this class really doesn't exist
I think they try something like a dynamic Class loader with
getClassForName depending on what VRML-Tokens they read and when they
read an unknown token this happens. Of course this is just a guess

Well I haven't tried XJ3D yet but It sounds like the best solution you
could also try out CyberVRML97 maybe it works better, I use it for saving
J3D Scenegraphs back to WRL and it works fine.
