A folder called newobjectfile has been added. It contains a package for .obj files loading.
This is the java3D files with some changes for a better rendering of models (colors and textures).
To use it in your project, download this folder and do the following :

	1- open your project and create a new file called newobjectfile with java package type.
	2- copy files just downloaded into this new file
	3- In each file replace the line package scenemakerv2.newobjectfile; by package yourproject.newobjectfile;
	4- In the program where where obj files are loaded :
		* add this line : import yourproject.newobjectfile.NewObjectFile;
		* replace line : ObjectFile fObj = new ObjectFile(ObjectFile.RESIZE | ObjectFile.STRIPIFY);  by
			NewObjectFile fObj = new NewObjectFile(NewObjectFile.RESIZE | NewObjectFile.STRIPIFY);
			(parameters are just an example)

Note : imports statements of files are for java3D 1.7 current version from  JogAmp.
