If you want to create only offscreen views, you should set the com.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.useOffScreen3DView System property to true, using -Dcom.eteks.sweethome3d.j3d.useOffScreen3DView=true java option if you run Sweet Home 3D from its Jar executable file. For components displayed at screen, this will use JCanvas3D instances instead of Canvas3D instances.
And very good news: Sweet Home 3D works using this option and the Jar executable file built with Java 3D 1.6 pre3 and JOGL rc11 
Wtih Java 3D 1.6 pre4, the program doesn't crash but doesn't work correctly (the JCanvas3D instance is partially viewed and other off screen 3D canvases are incorrect).
