##Building Java3D

The instructions below are based on eclipse, however they should work on most common IDE's

Clone this repo, make note of the root folder you use
Right click on the Project Explorer view and select Import
Expand the Maven group and select Existing Maven Project and click Next
For Root directory click Browse and find the root folder that you cloned the repo into
There should be a pom.xml that is ticked in the Projects area 
Click Finish
Repeat for java3d-utils 
Repeat for vecmath
If you are new to Java3D then it might be good to repeat for java3d-examples too.

Now if you right click on
org.jdesktop.j3d.examples.hello_universe.HelloUniverse.java
Run as ... Java Application
You should see Java3D working
