<h3><a name="System_Requirements"></a>System Requirements</h3>
<p>The 1.5.1-beta1 version of the Java 3D API has been released
for
Solaris (both sparc and x86/amd64), Linux (both x86 and amd64), Windows
(both x86 and amd64), and
Mac OS X (both PPC and x86).
</p>
<h4><a name="Solaris_Sparc"></a>Solaris Sparc</h4>
<p>
The 1.5.1-beta1 version of Java 3D for Solaris SPARC requires the
following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Solaris 9 or later</li>
<li>Frame Buffer with OpenGL 1.3 support or better (XVR-600,
XVR-1200, Expert3D, etc.). A frame buffer with OpenGL 1.2 support will
work, but with reduced texture mapping functionality.</li>
<li>OpenGL 1.3 for Solaris or later. To find your current version,
use: "<code>pkginfo -l SUNWglrt</code>". OpenGL for Solaris can be
obtained at: <a href="http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/">http://www.sun.com/software/graphics/opengl/</a></li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Solaris_x86"></a>Solaris x86</h4>
<p>
The 1.5.1-beta1 version of Java 3D for Solaris x86/amd64 requires
the
following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Solaris 10 or later</li>
<li>NVIDIA Frame Buffer with OpenGL 1.3 or later</li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Linux"></a>Linux<br>
</h4>
<p>The 1.5.1-beta1 version of Java 3D for Linux (x86 or amd64)
requires
the
following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Graphics adapter with driver that supports the GLX
extension: GLX
1.3 or later and OpenGL 1.3 or later. A graphics adapter with OpenGL
1.2 support will work, but with reduced texture mapping functionality. </li>
</ul>
<h4><a name="Windows"></a>Windows<br>
</h4>
<p>The 1.5.1-beta1 version of Java 3D for Windows 2000,
Windows XP (x86 or amd64), or Windows Vista
requires the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Sun Microsystems: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/">http://java.sun.com/j2se/</a></li>
<li>Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista</li>
<li>Support for either OpenGL or DirectX as shown below.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">OpenGL version</span><br>
<ul>
The (default) OpenGL renderer of Java 3D requires OpenGL 1.3 or
later,
available from your graphics card manufacturer.
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">DirectX version</span><br>
<ul>
The (optional) DirectX renderer of Java 3D requires
DirectX 9.0 or
later, which is available from Microsoft at: <a
href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/</a>
. The DirectX version of
Java 3D is selected by setting the "<code>j3d.rend</code>" system
property
to "<code>d3d</code>",
for example:
<ul>
<code>java -Dj3d.rend=d3d ClassName</code>
</ul>
</ul>
<br>
NOTE: The DirectX version of Java 3D is used if a suitable version
of OpenGL cannot be found. Note also that DirectX is chosen by
default on Windows Vista systems with an ATI graphics card (due to
ATI driver bugs).
</ul>
<h4><a name="MacOSX"></a>Mac OS X</h4>
<p>The 1.5.1-beta1 version of Java 3D for Mac OS X (PPC or x86)
requires the following:<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>JDK 1.5.0 or later from Apple: <a
href="http://developer.apple.com/java/download/">http://developer.apple.com/java/download/</a></li>
<li>Java Binding for OpenGL (JOGL), available at: <a
href="https://jogl.dev.java.net/">https://jogl.dev.java.net/</a><br>
you can <a
href="https://jogl.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=5971&expandFolder=5971">click
here</a> for a direct link to the download folder<br>
</li>
<li>Apple OS X 10.3 or later (10.4 or later is required for
Intel-based Apple systems)<br>
</li>

<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
OS X (x86 or PPC). The easiest way to run Java 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> to run
a Java 3D example program from your browser via the
JOGL pipeline. These
examples will use JOGL on Mac OS X and the native OpenGL pipeline on
all
other platforms.<br>
</p>
<p>The JOGL renderer is the default on Mac OS X.
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 3D jar files (or
include it in your PATH/CLASSPATH).<br>
</p>
<p>NOTE: You must install <i>both</i> Java 3D and JOGL into the JRE,
or else you must install <i>neither</i> Java 3D nor JOGL into the
JRE. If you install Java 3D into the JRE and put JOGL on your
CLASSPATH, the JoglPipeline will fail to find the JOGL classes.</p>
