Instructions for Unzipping Java 3D 1.4.0_01

The 1.4.0_01 version of the Java 3DTM API for Linux runs on JDK version 1.4.2 and higher. See the release notes for more information.

NOTE: This zip bundle is intended for expert users who do not want to use the self-extracting installer. Most users will want to download and install the java3d-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.bin file instead.

To manually install this build, do the following:

  1. Download java3d-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.zip to a temporary directory, for example, "/tmp"

  2. Unzip java3d-1_4_0_01-linux-i586.zip into "/tmp" as follows:


    This will create a "java3d-1_4_0_01-linux-i586" subdirectory in /tmp where the downloaded files can be found. The file you need for manual installation is "j3d-140-linux-x86.zip".

  3. Unzip Java 3D 1.4.0_01 into the "jre" directory of your JDK. For example, if your JDK is in "/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/jre", you would do the following:


    Verify that the j3d*.jar and vecmath.jar files end up in "/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/lib/ext"
