The 1.5.2-XXX pre-release version of 3D graphics API for the Java platform runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and higher. It has been released for the Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X operating environments.
NOTE: Installing the j3d jars and native libs into the "ext" directory of the JRE is discouraged, especially on Mac OS X where JOGL is used as the rendering engine. Doing so can cause conflicts with third-party applications launched via Java Web Start, and causes confusion later when upgrading the distribution.
The 1.5.2 pre-release version of 3D graphics API for the Java platform for Windows 2000, Windows XP (x86 or amd64), and Windows Vista runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and higher. To manually install this build, do the following:
j3d-1_5_2-XXX.zip
(using Windows
Explorer or an unzip tool such as WinZip) to a temporary
download folder,
for example, c:\Downloads. This will
create a j3d-1_5_2-XXX subfolder in
your download folder where the
downloaded files can be found. The file you need for manual
installation is j3d-jre.zip.C:\Users\myhome\j3d, and
unzip j3d-jre.zip into this folder.CLASSPATH environment
variable to include the full paths to j3dcore.jar,
j3dutils.jar, and vecmath.jar.
For example, add the following to your CLASSPATH
variable,
using the System control panel, Advanced tab, Environment Variables
button:.;C:\Users\myhome\j3d\lib\ext\j3dcore.jar;C:\Users\myhome\j3d\lib\ext\j3dutils.jar;C:\Users\myhome\j3d\lib\ext\vecmath.jar
PATH environment
variable to contain the full path to the lib\i386
folder (or lib\amd64 for
Windows/x64). For example, on 32-bit Windows, add the following to your
PATH variable, using the System control
panel, Advanced tab, Environment Variables button.C:\Users\myhome\j3d\lib\i386At this point your Java installation should be able to see
the j3d class files. Users of IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse should
consult the IDE's documentation to see how to add jar files and native
libraries to their current project.
The 1.5.2 pre-release version of 3D graphics API for the Java platform for Linux or Solaris runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and higher. To manually install this build, do the following:
j3d-1_5_2-XXX.zip
into a temporary
download directory,
for example, /tmp. This will
create a j3d-1_5_2-XXX subdirectory
in /tmp where the
downloaded files can be found. The file you need for manual
installation is j3d-jre.zip./myhome/j3d, and
unzip j3d-jre.zip into this directory
as follows:cd /myhome/j3dunzip /tmp/j3d-1_5_2-*/j3d-jre.zipCLASSPATH environment
variable to include the full paths to j3dcore.jar,
j3dutils.jar, and vecmath.jar.
For example:export
CLASSPATH=.:/myhome/j3d/lib/ext/j3dcore.jar:/myhome/j3d/lib/ext/j3dutils.jar:/myhome/j3d/lib/ext/vecmath.jarLD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment
variable to contain the full path to the lib/<ARCH>
directory. For example, on 32-bit Linux:export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/myhome/j3d/lib/i386At this point your Java installation should be able to see the j3d class files. Users of IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse should consult the IDE's documentation to see how to add jar files and native libraries to their current project.

variable to include the full paths to j3dcore.jar,

For example:export
CLASSPATH=.:/myhome/j3d/lib/ext/j3dcore.jar:/myhome/j3d/lib/ext/j3dutils.jar:/myhome/j3d/lib/ext/vecmath.jar/tmp./myhome/jogl, and
unzip jogl-*.zip into this directory
as follows:cd /myhome/joglunzip /tmp/jogl-*.zipCLASSPATH environment
variable to include the full paths to jogl.jar
and gluegen-rt.jar.
For example:export
CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}:/myhome/jogl/lib/jogl.jar:/myhome/jogl/lib/gluegen-rt.jarDYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment
variable to contain the full path to the lib
directory. For example:export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/myhome/jogl/libAt this point your Java installation should be able to see the j3d and jogl class files. Users of IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse should consult the IDE's documentation to see how to add jar files and native libraries to their current project.
