I just the top of the document should say - First, you must install
the Java and Java 3D SDK.  The Java JRE does not have javac installed
and that's probably what is installed on Windows.
So, before you try Linux, make sure you have the Java SDK and
Java 3D installed.  We use Sun's SDK and Blackdown's Java 3D.

I'm guessing that your Solaris system has Java and Java 3D installed.
We would appreciate any feedback you have on the instructions when you
get a chance.
