Java 3D^TM 1.5.2 +Release Notes

This file contains important release information for users of +the +Java 3D^TM API, version +1.5.2. +

Improvements in 1.5.2

JOGL Rendering Pipeline

More Information

Click +here for instructions +on +how +to install this release of +Java 3D +version 1.5.2.

NOTE: We recommend that you uninstall all previous versions of Java 3D before +installing this version. +

System Requirements

The 1.5.2 version of the Java 3D API has been released +for +Solaris (both sparc and x86/amd64), Linux (both x86 and amd64), Windows +(both x86 and amd64), and +Mac OS X (both PPC and x86). +

Solaris Sparc

+The 1.5.2 version of Java 3D for Solaris SPARC requires the +following: +

JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Solaris 9 or later
Frame Buffer with OpenGL 1.3 support or better (XVR-600, +XVR-1200, Expert3D, etc.). A frame buffer with OpenGL 1.2 support will +work, but with reduced texture mapping functionality.
OpenGL 1.3 for Solaris or later. To find your current version, +use: "pkginfo -l SUNWglrt". OpenGL for Solaris can be +obtained at: http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/

Solaris x86

+The 1.5.2 version of Java 3D for Solaris x86/amd64 requires +the +following: +

JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Solaris 10 or later
NVIDIA Frame Buffer with OpenGL 1.3 or later

Linux
+

The 1.5.2 version of Java 3D for Linux (x86 or amd64) +requires +the +following:
+

JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Graphics adapter with driver that supports the GLX +extension: GLX +1.3 or later and OpenGL 1.3 or later. A graphics adapter with OpenGL +1.2 support will work, but with reduced texture mapping functionality.

Windows
+

The 1.5.2 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000, +Windows XP (x86 or amd64), or Windows Vista +requires the following:
+

JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: http://java.sun.com/j2se/
Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista
Support for either OpenGL or DirectX as shown below.
+

OpenGL version

+The (default) OpenGL renderer of Java 3D requires OpenGL 1.3 or +later, +available from your graphics card manufacturer. +

DirectX version

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/

j3d.rend

d3d

java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName

Mac OS X

The 1.5.2 version of Java 3D for Mac OS X (PPC or x86) +requires the following:
+

JDK 1.5.0 or later from Apple: http://developer.apple.com/java/download/
Java Binding for OpenGL (JOGL), available at: https://jogl.dev.java.net/
+you can click +here for a direct link to the download folder

Issue		Description
179		OrbitBehavior.setRotationCenter gives spurious view shift
483		NullPointerException when writing Font3D using scenegraph.io
506		NullPointerException: Calling getNominalSensorRotation in WandViewBehavior when internal nominalSensorRotation is null causes a NullPointerException.
510		J3DGraphics2D context lost when canvas changes frame
513		Down-rev D3D driver can cause JVM to crash
514		NPE in Wonderland : triggered in cached bounds computation
519		IntersectionInfo.getGeometry return null for IndexedArrayGeometry
525		JOALMixer only playing one sample
532		Background geometry BG isn't saved with SceneGraphFileWriter
534		ClassNotFoundException when running applet if Java 3D installed into JRE
538		Machine precision bug in AxisAngle4d and Quat4d
540		ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException when calling setPickable
541		Bound.closest_point() method creates unused Matrix3d
543		J3DClock does not adjust to clock skew
544		GroupRetained.getBounds() should return BoundingBox?
545		Update docs to discourage installing Java 3D into JRE
548		RFE - Disable getLock() / unLock() on non-alive GeometryArray
555		Muting a PointSound causes a ClassCastException
560		Use D3DCREATE_FPU_PRESERVE flag on D3D pipeline
561		Decrease memory footprint of BoundingBox
562		Error occurs when Canvas3D removed from View
563		Background cloneNode() fails with Background geometry
567		Update license to GPL v2 + CLASSPATH
569		ImageComponent.ALLOW_IMAGE_READ is false
583		A disposed Graphics2D remains in Canvas3D after removal and addtion
585		ClassCastException in TransformStructure.java

JOGL Rendering Pipeline

A JOGL rendering pipeline, as described +in issue +229, is now +available on all supported platforms, including Apple Mac OS X +(x86 or PPC). The easiest way to run Java 3D applications +using the JOGL +pipeline is via Java Webstart from your browser (with no setup +required). +Click here to run +a Java 3D example program from your browser via the +JOGL pipeline. These +examples will use JOGL on Mac OS X and the native OpenGL pipeline on +all +other platforms.
+

The JOGL renderer is the default on Mac OS X. +You can select the JOGL renderer on other platforms by setting the "j3d.rend" +system +property +to "jogl", +for example: +

java -Dj3d.rend=jogl ClassName

You will need to download +JOGL +and include it in your PATH/CLASSPATH along with the Java 3D jar files.
+

NOTE: Installing the j3d or jogl jars and native libs into the "ext" +directory of the JRE is strongly discouraged. Doing so can cause +conflicts with third-party applications launched via Java Web Start, +and causes confusion later when upgrading the distribution. +
