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.
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
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

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. -
