I have a java3d project that was developed on solaris that I am trying to move onto my macbook for a variety of reasons (1 being that our solaris machines are painfully slow).

Basically what I want is to use osx + netbeans for this project but it seems to reference java3d methods that are not included in the outdated version of java3d in the mac 1.6 JDK. My first attempt at resolving this issue was to include the java3d 1.5.2 libraries as external jars for the project but it seems netbeans is still trying to reference the old libraries in the 1.6 JDK instead of the 1.5.2 j3d libraries.

Also when I explore the 1.5.2 jars within the netbeans file explorer the methods (that are not included in the 1.6 jdk) do not show up under their respective classes. However, when I do the same thing on solaris the methods do show up. So basically, I know that the jars I am trying to include do in fact contain the methods/classes I need. netbeans just won't find them

If anything is unclear please ask me to clarify it. I got confused just writing this up.

Thanks in advance for the help!
