[IDV #MKR-443485]: stereo support on idv 5.0

Brett,

As I understand this issue, the problem lies with bugs in the java.awt. I have
posted messages to the Java 3D and awt-dev lists hoping to revive the discussion
and ultimately find a solution.

> Hello IDV support,

> I am a longtime fan of idv, and have frequently used it for

> works. I have used the same procedure as in prior versions, that is, set
> enableStereo=true in the idv.bat file. My older version (idv 4.1) continues
> to work well in stereo, so I am not sure what has changed. I did find in
> the recent archives that IDV support stated the following:
> 
> "...the enableStereo information is passed to the J3d layer and not
> much control
> in the IDV interface."

> Is this broken feature an obscure java 3d issue?

> For the time being I will continue to use 4.1, but would of course like to
> upgrade if stereo can be fixed for 5.0
> 
> Thanks for any additional information or suggested fixes.
