In my application I have various Shape3D for which I need 2 separate levels of 
highlight.

I implemented this at Java3D 1.1 / 1.2 by setting up multiple materials to indicate 
the level of highlight
And simply swapped the materials.

        thing.getAppearance().setMaterial(thing.HIGHLIGHT_MATERIAL)

which worked fine at 1.1 / 1.2

at Java3D 1.3 this works MOST of the time but not reliably (i.e. sometimes the 
material does not change in the 3D view)

Swapping the appearance instead seems to help (but has significant disadvantages in my 
application).

Is there some notification that is required to indicate that the material has changed? 
Or is this a Bug.

        Thanks in anticipation

                Alex
