Yes !;-)

The problem is located in one of this 4 lines, but which one !?
GraphicsConfigTemplate3D tmpl = new GraphicsConfigTemplate3D();
         GraphicsEnvironment env = 
GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
         GraphicsDevice device = env.getDefaultScreenDevice();
         GraphicsConfiguration config = device.getBestConfiguration(tmpl);

There seems definitely a problem when getting a screen device, but i 
can't see why ?

The clean version will be to throw an Exception or throw only one single 
error in the constructor before line 72, which is also clearer than 
adding to every method a logging error or Exception (my previous mail 
was a quick fix !;-)

Additionally i've nothing usefull found in the Java3D mailing lists ...

Regards, Joerg
