  1. On Java 3D's download page you will find 'j3d-1_5_2-macosx.zip'. The installation process is described in 'README-unzip.html' : http://java3d.java.net/binary-builds.html

  2. Check if Apple's out-dated Java 3D version 1.3 is installed in System/Library/Java/Extensions/ on your Mac. Remove all Java 3D 1.3 related files (jar, jnilib), they are useless.
