  <title>README-build: build instructions for the j3d-examples project</title>
</head>
<body>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Building
the Java&nbsp;3D Example Programs</span></h3>
<p>To
build the Java&nbsp;3D example programs, you must first checkout the <a
 href="http://j3d-examples.dev.java.net/">j3d-examples</a>
CVS
repository on java.net. For example, run
the cvs checkout command as follows:<br>
</p>
<ul>
  <code>cd &lt;cvs-root-dir&gt;</code><br>
  <code>cvs checkout j3d-examples</code>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">System Requirements</span>
</h3>
<p>Any operating environment that supports J2SE and Java&nbsp;3D should
work.We have built j3d-examples on the following operating environments:<br>
</p>
<ul>
  <li>Solaris: Sparc (Ultra60 or better) running Solaris 9</li>
  <li>Linux: i386/i586 running SuSE 9 or RedHat 9.0</li>
  <li>Windows: Windows/XP (Windows
2000 should work, but is untested)<br>
  </li>
</ul>
<p>The following software must be installed:</p>
<ul>
  <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se">JDK 1.4.2</a> </li>
  <li><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/ant">Apache Ant 1.6.1</a> </li>
  <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/">Java&nbsp;3D
1.3.1</a> or later. </li>
</ul>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Building
j3d-examples</span><span
 style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;"></span><br>
</h3>
<p>Before you start building, please check that your PATH must
include the
following directories:</p>
<ul>
  <li>&lt;ant-root-dir&gt;/bin</li>
  <li>&lt;jdk-root_dir&gt;/bin</li>
</ul>
<p>NOTE that Java&nbsp;3D must be installed into the JDK that you have in
your path <span style="font-weight: bold;">OR</span> you must put the
Java&nbsp;3D and vecmath jar files (j3dcore.jar, j3dutils.jar and
vecmath.jar) in your CLASSPATH and the directory containing the
Java&nbsp;3D libraries in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Solaris or Linus) or
PATH (Windows).<br>
</p>
<p>To build all examples:</p>
<ul>
  <code>cd &lt;cvs-root-dir&gt;/j3d-examples</code><br>
  <code>ant</code>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<p>This will build all example programs, each one being placed in the
corresponding <code>src/&lt;ExampleProgram&gt;</code> directory.
You may run
ant from a subdirectory in order to just build that program. For
example, to build the HelloUniverse program:<br>
</p>
<ul>
  <code>cd &lt;cvs-root-dir&gt;/j3d-examples/src/HelloUniverse</code><br>
  <code>ant</code>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Running j3d-examples</span></h3>
<p>To run an example program, cd to the desired directory and execute
java from there. You must ensure that CLASSPATH is either not set, or
contains "." in its list of directories. For example, to run the
HelloUniverse program:<br>
</p>
<ul>
  <code>cd &lt;cvs-root-dir&gt;/j3d-examples/src/HelloUniverse</code><br>
  <code>java HelloUniverse<br>
  </code>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<p>You may also point your Java-enabled web browser at the
<code>src/index.html</code> page and run Java&nbsp;3D example programs
from within your browser. Java&nbsp;3D must be installed into the JDK
in order to run Java&nbsp;3D programs from within a browser.<br>
