[JAVA3D] Java 3d on osx

Java3d On OSX

I have been trying to make this work as described in a FAQ answer from Apple

Q: When will Java3D or Java Advanced Imaging be available on Mac OS X?

A: Apple would like to have Java3D and JAI on Mac OS X. We're working with Sun to try to bring it over to our platform. There are currently no announced plans. However, there are some alternatives to official Mac OS X releases of these APIs:
* Many developers have successfully downloaded the Unix or Linux versions of these APIs and simply used the jar files

i have as yet been unable to make this work. i get a message
