<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
OSX (x86 or PPC). The easiest way to run Java&nbsp;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> and go
to the "Early access
test program" section at bottom of the
page to run a Java&nbsp;3D example program from your browser via the
JOGL pipeline. These
examples will use JOGL on Mac OSX and the native OpenGL pipeline on all
other platforms.<br>
</p>
<p>The JOGL renderer is the default on Mac OSX.
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 install it into the JRE along with the Java&nbsp;3D jar files (or
include it in your PATH/CLASSPATH).<br>
