My big brother uses your software, his teachers too. He's under Windows XP, it works very well. I tested it under Mandriva Linux 2010 and Mageia Linux 2 too.

Anyway, even if it's a driver issue, it would be nice to avoid at least the crash of the program and better find a fix, since I didn't have any problem with Java 3D 1.5.2.

Sometimes we can find a workaround but driver bugs should be fixed in drivers themselves. I think there is still a problem with shininess, when the value is very high, only on some drivers. Please debug the code and check the value passed to glLightModeli.

Java3D 1.5.2 is not the golden age of Java3D, it has some bugs too, I succeeded in crashing some games based on it. Maybe this particular bug was not happening in Java3D 1.5.2.
