I know how to GET it to run. My point is, that a typical user (not a
developer) shouldn't have to go through that hassle. They should be able to
view Java3D content after running one installer program. Installing
Cosmoplayer, for instance, does not require any hand tweaking by the user.
They run one executable and go. This should be just as simple for Java.
Getting Java3D to run requires (at least when I installed it) that the
java3D jar files be moved to the right folder so that the plugin can find
them. Users shouldn't have to do that.
