Thanks gouessej, that explanation clears up everything.

I have two follow-up questions:

1) What's an example of a scenario where AWT gets broken and causes Java3D to fail? AWT is supposed to be a mature library, I have a hard time imagining how it's broken.

2) Few of my customers report the following Java3D error:

javax.media.j3d.IllegalRenderingStateException: Java 3D ERROR : OpenGL 1.2 or better is required (GL_VERSION=1.1)

The version of Java3D is 1.6.0-pre9 which is before the new Frame() code was added.
Do you think this error is related to the broken AWT issue that is now fixed by using new Frame() code?
