##Building Java3D

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

Clone the repo using 
https://github.com/philjord/java3d-core.git
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 using
https://github.com/philjord/java3d-utils.git
Repeat for vecmath using
https://github.com/philjord/vecmath.git

Once that's done it's likely you'll need to 
Right click on pom.xml -> Run As -> Maven clean
then
Right click on pom.xml -> Run As -> Maven generate sources
This should place a derived version of VersionInfo.java into /java3d-core/target/generated-sources/java-templates


If you are new to Java3D then it might be good to repeat the clone import step for java3d-examples too, using
https://github.com/philjord/java3d-examples.git 

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