default.sh3d file not found

[binoc]

Hi, and thank you for your very interesting project !

I have encountered somes issues with the Eclipse run configuration (no j3dcore-ogl-chk in java.library.pat) I have finaly fixed when I write the complete path of the /lib in the VM option :
-Djava.ext.dirs=C:/Users/MAF/Documents/SweetHome3D-3.6-src/lib;C:/Users/MAF/Documents/SweetHome3D-3.6-src/lib/windows/i386

But now, I'm stopped by a new problems : "impossible to open the C:/Users/MAF/Documents/SweetHome3D-3.6-src/classes/default.sh3d" ...

Any suggestion ?

The only place where default.sh3d file is expected, is within Sweet Home 3D Viewer. Do you use that program? Did you read the README.TXT file coming with it?

Hi, Thank U for your response !-)
Of course I reed the README.TXT !
I have followed the instructions : import the src package into an Eclipse project, then filled the VM arguments with the relative path to the lib & lib/windows/i386.
And I try to launch either the 3D applet or the viewer from the run menu but it doesn't works in both case ...
What do you mean by "is within Sweet Home 3D" ? From where exactly the program try to load this default file ?
(I use a Java 7 JDK under Windows 7 32bits)

What do you mean by "is within Sweet Home 3D" ?

within "Sweet Home 3D Viewer" applet and nowhere else. It's the file name of the document this applet is trying to open by default. Why are you trying to run the applet from Eclipse?

From where exactly the program try to load this default file ?

It's in ViewerHelper class which is actually used only in Sweet Home 3D Viewer applet.

Why are you trying to run the applet from Eclipse??

Because I would like to explore a good example of Java 3D implementation !
Thank you for the link to ViewerHelper : I will explore it !

Then run com.eteks.sweethome3d.SweetHome3D class from eclipse. It will be easier to follow because applets with Java 3D are more complex to run than applications, as they need a customized class loader to access Java 3D DLLs.

Thank you for the tips : I will start my exploration by SweetHome3D ... on monday !-)
Have a nice week-end
