Wayne, I had the same trouble. The most current release of J3D requires a later version of the JDK 1.2.2, which is used by VisualAge for Java v4.0. There is currently no way to update the JDK used in VAJ. According to the FAQs on their website, they are looking into it. In order to use J3D with VAJ, you must use an earlier version of J3D, but I'm not sure which one--whichever requires only JDK 1.2.2 or lower. Then you must copy the three .dll files found within <jdk-home>/jre/bin (j3daudio.dll, j3d.dll, and j3dutils.dll) into the directory of <vaj-home>/ide/programs. Then, it should work.
I was pretty bummed out myself to find that I couldn't use the current J3D within VAJ. I have to stick to my old standby, Forte. G.
