Instructions for Installing +Java 3D^TM 1.4.0-beta3

The 1.4.0-beta3 version of the Java 3D^TM +API runs on JDK version 1.4.2 and higher. It has been released for +the Solaris, Linux, and Windows operating +environments.
+

NOTE: This +pre-release version does not yet come with an installer. +Beginning with the 1.4.0-beta4 release, we will provide an installer +for the Windows operating +environment, and a self-extracting binary for the Solaris and Linux +operating +environments.
+

This interrim build runs on JDK version 1.4.2 and higher. +To install this build, chdir to the "jre" directory within the jdk +and unzip (or unjar) the zip file. For example, if your JDK is +installed +in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06, you would install this as follows: +

You may need to be "root" to do this on Solaris or Linux.

Here is an example of how to install Java 3D 1.4.0-beta3 on a +Windows/XP system:

Download java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586.zip to a temporary +directory, +for example, "c:\Temp"

Unzip java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586.zip (using WinZip or a +similar +tool) into "c:\Temp". You will see the following files in the +"java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586" subdirectory:

Unzip Java 3D 1.4.0-beta3 into your JRE as follows:
+
+

Locate your "JRE". The default location for the current release +is: +"c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06"

Unzip j3d-140-beta3-win.zip (found in +c:\Temp\java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586) +to the jre directory.

Verify that the j3d*.jar and vecmath.jar files end up in: +"c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext"

Verify that the j3d*.dll files end up in: +"c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin"

If you also installed the JDK, unzip Java 3D 1.4.0-beta3 into the +"jre" +directory of your JDK as follows:

Locate the jre directory of your "JDK". The default location +for the +current release is: "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\jre"

Unzip j3d-140-beta3-win.zip (found in +c:\Temp\java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586) +to the jre directory of the JDK.

Verify that the j3d*.jar and vecmath.jar files end up in: +"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\jre\lib\ext"

Verify that the j3d*.dll files end up in: +"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\jre\bin"
