Once again many thanks for the help before and sorry for the late post, but in response to "If you wouldn't mind, could you take a few minutes and tell us about your project that uses Java3D? I'm always interested to hear how it is being used.

I am actually a Theoretical Physics grad student (with a fairly negligible formal background in programming and computer literacy, hence my difficulty in following the simple instructions earlier).

I used Java3D in my undergraduate project, was running monte carlo algorithms to generate random walks on cubic lattices under various conditions , thought it would be a cool idea to render the random samples visually (actually I designed it to be compatible in dimensions over 3 and went up to 60 which obviously can't be rendered in a 3D space, however, independent of temperature the spatial dimensions are always rendered to similar effect in all integer dimensions above 2 with purely mathematical consequences as d evolves), turned out to be pretty cool anyways, interesting to visually demonstrate the consequences of fundamental statistics, in fact if i had a powerful enough machine I could potentially render the beginnings of a fractal as a biproduct of the random walk, can PM you my dissertation/source code if you are genuinely interested.

EDIT: Is it likely the .jars/Java3D will still function correctly in MacOSX Yosemite? I plan on upgrading when it's released but not at the peril of my program. =/
