Problem with chapter 1 from Sun's Java3D

Hi,
I’ve got a problem viewing my applet. I can’t find any mistake into the code.


import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration;
import javax.media.j3d.BranchGroup;
import javax.media.j3d.Canvas3D;
import com.sun.j3d.utils.applet.MainFrame;
import com.sun.j3d.utils.universe.*;
import com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.ColorCube;
import com.sun.j3d.utils.universe.SimpleUniverse;
import javax.media.j3d.*;
import javax.vecmath.*;

public class HelloJava3Da extends Applet {
      public HelloJava3Da() {
            setLayout(new BorderLayout());
            GraphicsConfiguration config = SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration();
            Canvas3D canvas3D = new Canvas3D(config);
            add("Center", canvas3D);
            
            BranchGroup scene = createSceneGraph();
            scene.compile();
            
            //simpleUniverse is a convenience utility class
            SimpleUniverse simpleU = new SimpleUniverse(canvas3D);
            
            //this moves the viewplatform back a bit so the
            //objects in the scene can be viewed
            simpleU.getViewingPlatform().setNominalViewingTransform();
            simpleU.addBranchGraph(scene);
      }
            
      public BranchGroup createSceneGraph() {
            //create the root of the branch graph
            BranchGroup objRoot = new BranchGroup();
            
            //Create a simple shape leaf node, add it to the scene graph.
            //ColorCube is a convenience Utility Class.
            objRoot.addChild(new ColorCube(0.4));
            
            return objRoot;
      }
      
      public static void main(String[] args){
            Frame frame = new MainFrame(new HelloJava3Da(), 256, 256);
      }
}

But I am a newbie. I think there’s a browser problem. I am working with eclipse 3.1. The applet viever shows the applet [example Java3Da] But I don’t see a cube. And I didn’t get an error message into my eclipse console. If I try to open another applet with firefox 1.0 I get the following message:

Does anybody know the problem?

thank you,
