Which IDE is the best in your opinion for a person that works with J3d???
an IDE that works with Java works for Java3D.
NetBeans has an optional module that is able to browse and edit Java3D scenegraphs.
This is also known standalone as ‘FlyThrough’.
I use netbeans (I suspect Eclipse is better but I’ve never got around to switching) and it seems pretty easy to use once you get your head around how to include libraries.
Eclipse includes what you need and only what you need automatically
@ Breakfast: as you are speaking of it … how do you include libraries in netbeans ?
… and shame on you for saying eclipse is better than my favourite IDE

Please, no IDE flames here … it’s about and IDE suitable for Java3D
@herkules: YES SIR, Flamer gesichert und entladen. 
Sorry, i really didn’t mean to flame somebody.
I’m not so strong biased toward a special IDE as it may seem. They are just tools to get my work done and NetBeans was a very good tool for me so far, so i’ll stick with it until i find something much better.

I have NetBeans, It’s very heavy but I’d like to try ‘FlyThrough’
Can you tell me how to get it and how to install it?
That used to be here:
http://java3d.netbeans.org/
The page says:
“Unfortunately the Netbeans Module code is now out of date and will not compile against the current Netbeans release.” 
but you still should be able to build and run the standalone app.
