Xj3Dplet is a Java Applet that contains an Xj3D instance. This was written to test WMS-X3D, as I had a hard time getting stock Xj3D to work on Vista/64, so figured I could JNLP my way through some components like JOGL, which Sun has graciously signed and hosted.

At first, I naively made a regular Java plugin Applet, but was only able to load small models which wasn't sufficient for large Earth tiles. Then I found out the new Java plugin architecture which is part of the Java 6_u_10 beta release finally fixes some long standing  plugin issues, such as being able to set standard JVM parameters, JNLP capability, and runs as a separate process.

I set up a demo and test page,  that points to a WMS-X3D server, for the brave. For the less brave, I also set up a test page that uses the JNLPAppletLauncher with the current JVM release with a small model. Please note: the actual JNLP files have not yet been checked into SVN (TBD), for now follow the jnlp_href in the Applet tag and view the file directly, it will also point to the component JNLP's used for JOAL, JOGL, and the Xj3D libraries. You may need to fiddle with the Java control panel settings to make sure the beta Java plugin loads, and it is recommended that the Java Console be set to automatically show. 

 Please note all of this is highly experimental, subject to change, may break at any step, can't be responsible if your PC melts, etc etc.

 As with all code hosted by Aniviza Inc. please assume the GPL license applies if not explicitly stated, when I have some time the source will be updated.
