Hi, John , You have to install GL4Java to run the demos. There are several DLLs to install. There is a installer avail in jausoft site. you just need to d/l it, and it will download the remaining files automatically. GL4Java is powerfull. O good video card (ATI, Nvidia) with OpenGL helps a lot ;)
But, I recomend you take a deep breath and think about your work. Schedule a time for learning inside this 10 weeks. You can create complex scenes with Java3D faster than in OpenGL. Look for MDL loaders, and see the Java3D basics. Hands on Java3D demos/Tutorial.
