-This interrim build runs on JDK version 1.4.2 and higher.
-To install this build, chdir to the "jre" directory within the jdk
-and unzip (or unjar) the zip file.  For example, if your JDK is installed
-in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06, you would install this as follows:
-
-	cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06
-	unzip /path-to-extracted-files/j3d-140-*.zip
-
-You may need to be "root" to do this on Solaris or Linux.
-
-Here is an example of how to install Java 3D 1.4.0-beta3 on a Windows/XP system:
-
-   1. Download java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586.zip to a temporary directory,
-      for example, "c:\Temp"
-
-   2. Unzip java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586.zip (using WinZip or a similar
-      tool) into "c:\Temp". You will see the following files in the
-      "java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586" subdirectory:
-
-	    COPYRIGHT.txt
-	    HOW-TO-INSTALL.txt
-	    LICENSE-JRL.txt
-	    README.txt
-	    j3d-140-beta3-win.zip
-
-      The file you need is "j3d-140-beta3-win.zip".
-
-   3. Unzip Java 3D 1.4.0 into your JRE as follows:
-
-          * Locate your "JRE". The default location for the current
-            release is: "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06"
-
-          * Unzip j3d-140-win.zip (found in
-            c:\Temp\java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586) to the jre directory.
-
-          * Verify that the j3d*.jar and vecmath.jar files end up in:
-            "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext"
-
-          * Verify that the j3d*.dll files end up in:
-            "c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin"
-
-   4. If you also installed the JDK, unzip Java 3D 1.4.0 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_06\jre"
-
-          * Unzip j3d-132-win.zip (found in
-            c:\Temp\java3d-1_4_0-beta3-windows-i586) to the jre directory of
-            the JDK.
-
-          * Verify that the j3d*.jar and vecmath.jar files end up in:
-            "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\jre\lib\ext"
-
-          * Verify that the j3d*.dll files end up in:
-            "c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\jre\bin"

+<h2>Instructions for Installing Java&nbsp;3D 1.5.0-beta1</h2>
+<p>The 1.5.0-beta1 version of the Java&nbsp;3D<sup><font size="-2">TM</font></sup>
+API runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and higher. It has been released for
+the <a href="#Solaris">Solaris</a>, <a href="#Linux">Linux</a>, <a
+ href="#Windows">Windows</a>, and <a href="#MacOSX">Mac OS X</a>
+operating
+environments. See the <a
+ href="http://j3d-core.dev.java.net/j3d1_5_0/RELEASE-NOTES-beta1.html">release
+notes</a>
+for more information.<br>
+</p>
+<h4><a name="Linux"></a>Linux</h4>
+<p>This release of Java&nbsp;3D runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and
+higher.
+To install this build, chdir to the "jre" directory within the jdk
+and execute the self-extracting binary that you downloaded. For
+example, if you are running on a Linux/x86 platform and your JDK is
+installed
+in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08, you would install Java&nbsp;3D as follows:
+</p>
+<ul>
+cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/jre<br>
+sh /path-to-download-files/java3d-1_5_0-beta1-linux-i586.bin<br>
+</ul>
+<p>You may need to be "root" to do this on Linux.<br>
+</p>
+<h4><a name="Solaris"></a>Solaris</h4>
+<p>This release of Java&nbsp;3D runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and
+higher.
+To install this build, chdir to the "jre" directory within the jdk
+and execute the self-extracting binary that you downloaded. For
+example, if you are running on a Solaris/x86 platform (including amd64)
+and your JDK is
+installed
+in /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08, you would install Java&nbsp;3D as follows:
+</p>
+<ul>
+cd /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_08/jre<br>
+sh /path-to-download-files/java3d-1_5_0-beta1-solaris-x86.bin<br>
+</ul>
+<p>You may need to be "root" to do this on Solaris.<br>
+</p>
+<h4><a name="Windows"></a>Windows</h4>
+<p>
+This release of Java&nbsp;3D runs on JDK version 1.5.0 and
+higher. To install
+this build, execute the binary installer that you downloaded, by
+double-clicking on the java3d-1_5_0-beta1-windows-i586.exe (or
+java3d-1_5_0-beta1-windows-amd64.exe) icon.<br>
+</p>
+<p>Alternatively, you can download the
+java3d-1_5_0-beta1-windows-i586.zip
+file and manually install
+the
+necessary files into your JRE. In this case, unzip the file, and follow
+the instructions in the unzipped README.txt file.<br>
+</p>
+<p></p>
+<h4><a name="MacOSX"></a>Mac OS X<br>
+</h4>
+No installer is currently available for the Mac OS X operating
+environment. You will need to download the
+java3d-1_5_0-beta1-macosx.zip
+file and manually install
+the
+necessary files into your JRE. After you unzip this file, follow
+the instructions in the unzipped README.txt file.

+<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>
