If you just want to use the loader and not develop it then you just need
to download one file:
http://www.web3d.org/TaskGroups/source/Xj3D-full.exe if you need java
and java3D or http://www.web3d.org/TaskGroups/source/Xj3D-min.exe
If you are not on a windows platform then substitute .jar for .exe.
Though I've heard reports that it might not work correctly so I need to
check on those.
For your purposes I'd check the examples/loader directory.
