Hmmm ... very strange. When you say "compiled on a PC" ...
Q: Do you know if the build is taking place in Eclipse? I'm not sure what kind of effect this would have, but it is a factor *** 2 minutes later *** Here is my theory: Jmol uses an independently-developed implementation of javax.Point3i & associated classes. This set of APIs was defined by Java3D. I didn't want to ... indeed I could not ... require Java3D. But I wanted to use a relatively standard set of libraries: * would provide good documentation * would allow us to switch to the built-in if they ever became part of the standard Java distribution Indeed, at some point I had some communications with Sun where I asked them to include the Java3D math routines in the standard library. In any case ... years have gone by ... Here is my theory ... if someone actually has Java3D libraries installed on their machine then an automated build on their machine might (under some build configurations) prefer the Java3D library version of the 3D math libraries. This could mean that none of the 3D math routines were included in the .jar file because the system would assume that it was being pulled from the installation java libraries. This would mean that the Jmol.jar file contained none of the Java3D math classes. Q: Can you get hold of one of these *bad* .jar files? If so, then use the jar utility to dump the classes. If you can't do it, send it to me and I will do so. Now, if this turns out to be the case, then I suggest the following ... I suggest that you simply rename the rename the 3D math packages that are used by Jmol. That is, use eclipse and rename from javax.Point3i to org.jmol.javax.Point3i ... or something like that. We have the source code included in the repository and renaming the packages would not represent a license violation. My fuzzy plan/hope to switch to using the standard Java 3D math would never have worked anyway. Even if the Java3D math libraries were included in the standard distribution there is a huge installed-base that doesn't have the library.
