Thanks for the quick reply. It looks like the PackageInfo sample can be run as an application only. I need to detect the presence of Java3D from a web browser (IE6 or NS6.2), either via Javascript or a Java applet. Preferable via javascript (or via parameters on the <object> tag), since I'd like to warn them before any applets get loaded.
Since there doesn't seem to be signed jar file available from Sun for auto-downloading, I'll have to send users to Sun to download J3D. On a side note, I don't understand why Sun created the extension mechanism, and then doesn't provide signed versions of their own extensions so that they can be auto-downloaded like the JRE.
