Thank you for the feedback. Therefore, Java3D shouldn't be modified, the real bug is inside JOGL only under OS X with Java 1.9. I'll add those precious pieces of information into the bug report about Java 1.9 & JOGL.

Please can you confirm that both a simple Java3D program and my rudimentary example based on JOGL work and exit correctly on your machine with Java 1.8 instead of Java 1.9? It would be helpful if you used OpenJDK instead of Oracle Java for this test, you can find a build for your platform here:

NEWT should go on working correctly without this kind of crash.
