Howdy guys,
I am a student at Flinders Uni here in SA and am doing Computer Project in my final semester. We are in week three, and I have to have something working by next Thursday. My assigned area is working on 3D GUI stuff in Java, and I need to get it to work in Mac OS X, of which Apple says, “we are working on it”.
Has anyone been able to get anything to work, e.g.: the Linux version available at: http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/jdk1.2-status/java-3d-status.html
Or maybe what Apple suggests, i.e.: GL4Java?
Tried to install the Linux 1.3.1 binaries from: http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/3D/ports.html

Still having problems though, probably related to attempts to access “Linux on 386” native code (3x .so files):

I know I was able to get the J2EE reference implementation from Sun to work by telling it to go vanilla, so any ideas for Java 3D?
Is JOGL overkill (I must be able to use Java; I am NOT a programming guru / genius; preferrably cross-platform)?
Please help!
