Mac OS X does not support Java 3D.  The IDV may run in a limited 
fashion under OS X, however the display of imagery is painfully
slow.  We do not test on OS X, but you could give it a try and
see what works and what doesn't.

Try following the instructions at:

under Downloading the files manually and see if that works for you.
