Instructions for Unzipping Java 3D 1.5.2 Pre-Release

Windows

1. Download java3d-1_5_2-XXX.zip to a temporary directory, for example, "c:\Temp"


2. Unzip java3d-1_5_2-XXX.zip (using WinZip or a similar tool) into "c:\Temp". This will create a "java3d-1_5_2-XXX" subdirectory in \Temp where the downloaded files can be found. The file you need for manual installation is "j3d-jre.zip".
   
   
3. Unzip Java 3D 1.5.2 into your JRE as follows:
   
   
• Locate your "JRE". The default location for the current release is: "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08"


• Unzip j3d-jre.zip (found in c:\Temp\java3d-1_5_2-XXX) to the jre directory.


• Verify that the j3dcore.jar, j3dutils.jar, and vecmath.jar files end up in: "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08\lib\ext"


• Verify that the j3d*.dll files end up in: "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_08\bin"


4. If you also installed the JDK, unzip Java 3D 1.5.2 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_08\jre"


• Unzip j3d-jre.zip (found in c:\Temp\java3d-1_5_2-XXX) to the jre directory of the JDK.


• Verify that the j3dcore.jar, j3dutils.jar, and vecmath.jar files end up in: "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\jre\lib\ext"


• Verify that the j3d*.dll files end up in: "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_08\jre\bin"

Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X

The 1.5.2 pre-release version of the Java 3D^TM API for Linux or Solaris runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and higher. To manually install this build, do the following:

1. Download java3d-1_5_2-XXX.zip to a temporary directory, for example, "/tmp"


2. Unzip java3d-1_5_2-XXX.zip into "/tmp" as follows:
   
   
   cd /tmp
unzip java3d-1_5_2-*.zip
   
   
   This will create a "java3d-1_5_2-XXX" subdirectory in /tmp where the downloaded files can be found. The file you need for manual installation is "j3d-jre.zip".
   
   
3. Unzip Java 3D 1.5.2 into the "jre" directory of your JDK. For example, if your JDK is in "/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/jre", you would do the following:
   
   
   cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/jre
unzip /tmp/java3d-1_5_2-*/j3d-jre.zip
   
   
   Verify that the j3dcore.jar, j3dutils.jar, and vecmath.jar files end up in "/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/jre/lib/ext"
