extension: GLX
1.3 or later and OpenGL 1.3 or later. A graphics adapter with OpenGL
1.2 support will work, but with reduced texture mapping functionality. </li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Windows"></a>Windows<br>
</h4>
<p>The 1.5.2-beta2 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000,
Windows XP (x86 or amd64), or Windows Vista
requires the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista</li>
<li>Support for either OpenGL or DirectX as shown below.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">OpenGL version</span><br>
<ul>
The (default) OpenGL renderer of Java 3D requires OpenGL 1.3 or
later,
available from your graphics card manufacturer.
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DirectX version</span><br>
<ul>
The (optional) DirectX renderer of Java 3D requires
DirectX 9.0 or
later, which is available from Microsoft at: <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/</a>

Java 3D is selected by setting the "<code>j3d.rend</code>" system
property
to "<code>d3d</code>",
for example:
<ul>
<code>java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName</code>
</ul>
</ul>
<br>
NOTE: The DirectX version of Java 3D is used if a suitable version
of OpenGL cannot be found. Note also that DirectX is chosen by
default on Windows Vista systems with an ATI graphics card (due to
ATI driver bugs).
</ul>

<h3><a name="JoglPipeline"></a>JOGL Rendering Pipeline</h3>
<p>A JOGL rendering pipeline, as described
in <a href="https://java3d.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=229">issue
229</a>, 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).
<a href="https://j3d-webstart.dev.java.net/test">Click here</a> 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.<br>
</p>
<p>The JOGL renderer is the default on Mac OS X.
You can select the JOGL renderer on other platforms by setting the "<code>j3d.rend</code>"
system
property
to "<code>jogl</code>",
for example:
</p>
<ul>
<code>java -Dj3d.rend=jogl ClassName</code>
</ul>
<p>You will need to <a href="https://jogl.dev.java.net/">download
JOGL</a>
and include it in your PATH/CLASSPATH along with the Java 3D jar files.<br>
</p>
<p>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.
