Ok, I've spend the entire afternoon and evening trying to install java3d an the eclipse java3d plugin. I finally got java3d running (running from an applet), but I haven't got a clue about what this "eclipse java3d plugin" does? I haven't seen any new views or features in eclipse, but it is installed. Where should I start? The "simple view" wiki page seemed useless as it produced a file which can't compile (it doesn't even have an execute method for that matter). I'm lost :-(
I'm using Eclipse Ganymede 3.4 on Ubuntu 8.10.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This plugin helps if you are building RCP application. (RCP stands for "Rich Client Platform"). Eclipse IDE itself is built on it, and if you are creating your own RCP applications then this is for you.
The wiki page assumes you know what RCP is, but if you don't, then I suggest looking into that. You can start with eclipse project wizards, create a "Hello World" RCP application and then try to follow the wikis to add a view.
If you are not willing to do that step by step, I suggest checking out demoapp from svn. Svn url is:
Thank you very much! I did not realize the plugin is for the rich client platform. I've heard about it, but I have never tried to use it before. Atleast I know in which direction to look now :-)

Hello,
This plugin helps if you are building RCP application. (RCP stands for "Rich Client Platform"). Eclipse IDE itself is built on it, and if you are creating your own RCP applications then this is for you.
The wiki page assumes you know what RCP is, but if you don't, then I suggest looking into that. You can start with eclipse project wizards, create a "Hello World" RCP application and then try to follow the wikis to add a view.
If you are not willing to do that step by step, I suggest checking out demoapp from svn. Svn url is:
https://java3d-eclipse.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/java3d-eclipse/org.java3declipse/trunk/
You can try "demoapp" or "test".
When you start with it, you can post your questions here and I will try to answer.
Thanks,
Aleksandar
Hi Aleksandar,
Thank you very much! I did not realize the plugin is for the rich client platform. I've heard about it, but I have never tried to use it before. Atleast I know in which direction to look now :-)
