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
