Yes, it's on our long TODO list to add java3d builds to Jenkins.

Right now, Harvey provides builds.

Since JOGL changes shall not harm Java3D too much - they all should work.
Of course .. there are always exceptions :)

There is still a long road to walk for us to make JOGL rock solid
on OSX w/ Java7. Pls keep in mind that Java7 on OSX is not that stable
itself due to tons of code changes especially in the AWT area.
