Thanks for your suggesting on Canvas3D. I have tried the following code:
     public static void testCanvas3D() {
        Canvas3D c3d = new Canvas3D(null);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        testCanvas3D();
    }

The output is:

I have never attempted to make a new instance of Canvas3D with a null GraphicsConfiguration, before. Not sure what to expect.
Thanks!
