J3D Properties Settings

Hi,

Thanks for the new release. I've tried to get the J3D code to work but only with a little success. I've rebuilt the jar file to include the J3D code and have added the following text to the openmap.properties file:

<code>
#Added this to the openmap.components so that the box icon appears on the toolbar
om3dViewerLauncher.class=com.bbn.openmap.tools.j3d.OM3DViewerLauncher

# Added this plugin to the openmap.layers list so that we can plot a path for the pilot
pilotPathPlugin.class=com.bbn.openmap.plugin.PlugInLayer
pilotPathPlugin.prettyName=Pilot Path
pilotPathPlugin.plugin=com.bbn.openmap.plugin.pilot.PilotLoaderPlugIn
</code>

Clicking on the icon brings up a 3D world looking like the insides of a box but there is only sea color in there. The following is the output when a number of debugs flags are set:

<code>
D:\openmap-4.5\bin>java.exe -mx128m -Ddebug.3d -Ddebug.pilotloader -Ddebug.pilot -Dopenmap.configDir=..\share com.bbn.openmap.app.OpenMap

GraphicLoaderPlugIn returning list of 0 objects.
</code>

I also added some debug code into the PilotLoaderPlugIn in getGUI() which results in the following console output:

<code>
PilotLoaderPlugin.getGUI() - loader = null
</code>

This seems to be the heart of the problem. Would it be possible to publish all of the requirements for the properties file so that we can make sure that we have everything set? That would be most helpful.

Many thanks,

Dave
