Zachary,
As Gouessej points out the 1.6.0 final is by far the best most up to date and stable release of Java3D.
It is far superior to the previous 1.5.2 version and fixes a myriad of problems and bugs.


The 1.7 version is just in a pre stage now, it will change over the coming months and will not be in a final form for possibly another 6 or 9 months ( or more).
It uses the OpenGL ES API, is a bit easier to use with Shaders and has some performance improvements over 1.6.0, so only if you are interested in those would you want o consider it.

But it's good to hear you are interested in using Java3D, I look forward to being able to assist!
