No, I don't use JOAL.

The switch from noawt to awt helped, thank you.  No more exception, and I get a bunch of FINEST logging coming from MasterControl:

Nov 18, 2012 8:59:59 PM javax.media.j3d.MasterControl dumpMessage
FINEST: sendMessage LIGHT_CHANGED  threads: UPDATE_RENDERING_ENVIRONMENT
Nov 18, 2012 8:59:59 PM javax.media.j3d.MasterControl dumpMessage
FINEST: sendMessage LIGHT_CHANGED  threads: UPDATE_RENDERING_ENVIRONMENT
Nov 18, 2012 8:59:59 PM javax.media.j3d.MasterControl dumpMessage
FINEST: sendMessage LIGHT_CHANGED  threads: UPDATE_RENDERING_ENVIRONMENT
... etc

However, there seems to be a thread blocked.  My splash screen stays up, and I never get my main window coming up.  Looks like Java3d is not returning control.
