In other words, as long as the Java3D classes are installed properly and available, Java 3D applications are invoked in the exact same manner as other applications. The following questions still need someone to write an answer for them. When this is done, they can be moved back up to the previous section in the appropriate place.

Get the latest version of Netscape for OS/2, which can use Java 1.1 and also comes with a utility (not tested here) to switch between the old and new versions of Java. Note that this version still carries the "2.02" number. To determine the exact version number, select "Help, About Netscape ... " from the menu of your Netscape. The title bar will display a string, including a date. Mine says "Version 2.02-980101". I'm not sure if there is a more recent build now.

Ans: Yes, we can... but we should caution you that there are still a lot of old browsers out there that are not Java-enabled. Older AOL browsers, for example, have a devil of a time with Java. We are frankly looking forward to the time when the whole web is fully utilizing the interactive capabilities of the platform-independent language and world of Java. Ans: We have an excellent form script in our CGI Bin, written in perl.

I am using Process.waitFor() to force my application written for the Java platform to wait until the native process has finished...

We found the question of installation so troublesome with mismatch of versions and users patially installing the software we bundle the complete java jvm and libraries (including J3D?) and in a subdirectory of our installation directory. No troubles since we did that. Topic Java3DFAQ .

You can get our releases either with a World Wide Web (WWW) browser or by anonymous ftp. For details, including installation instructions, visit: The JavaTM Development Kit (http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/) Choose the version of the JDK you want, and go from there.

Note: unless you want to work with the Java 3D internals, or see automated source code checkin messages, you only need to join the parent java3d project. The new Java 3D interest list is available either as a discussion forum (which is what most of the community uses) or as a mailing list. Messages posted to one are cross-posted to the other automatically. Go to the "Mailing Lists" page of the parent java3d project and subscribe to the "interest@java3d.dev.java.

Before downloading the source code, you will need to create a java.net account if you don't already have one. You must use CVS to download the source code for projects on java.net (see: Q: What is CVS and How Do I Use It? if you are unfamiliar with CVS). Java 3D is composed of three main CVS modules (projects), which can be checked out using a CVS client: In order to build the code, the three top-level directories must be named exactly as shown above and they must be sibling directories.

Download the source code for the following three projects: j3d-core, j3d-core-utils, and vecmath (see Q: How do I download the Java 3D source code?)

On Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Java 3D 1.5 for Mac OS X, installers are available here: https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html

java.lang.NullPointerException at sun.awt.motif.MFramePeer.<init>(MFramePeer.java:59) at sun.awt.motif.MToolkit.createFrame(MToolkit.java:153) at java.awt.Frame.addNotify(Frame.java) at java.awt.Window.pack(Window.java) A. There's a missing font on your system. Move font.properties from the "lib" subdirectory aside to font.properties.bak Then it won't look for the font and fail to find it.

The following list shows the classes that are marked Serializable. Note that classes that extend these classes are also serializable. There are many classes for which Serialization makes no sense, such as those representing the state of something in the current VM (e.g. java.io.FileInputStream) or are exceedingly hard to do correctly (e.g. java.lang.Thread).

The rules for where the client looks for a stub class seem to have changed making it necessary to reset your class path on the client after starting the RMI registry. In particular, it looks like rmic was not updated to the new "don't need $CLASSPATH for current dir" convention as the compiler was. You are best off setting classpath explicitly. There are several very good sources available from Sun which cover many simple and advanced RMI problems.
