I'm trying to use Java3D in my project. This is the error I receive:

I have copied the .jar files into my project's lib folder and linked them in Project -> Properties -> Add Jar File. There was also a .dll file in the Java3D download that I haven't touched or included in any way. What am I missing?
On Windows you must add the directory containing the DLL‘s (e.g. …\j3d-1_5_2-windows-i586\bin) to the PATH environment variable. The “Unzip Instructions” incorrectly says that the nonexistent “…\lib\i386” should be added (version 1.5.2).
Not able to test it on Linux, but probably you must add the directory with the SO files to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
More details in the README-unzip.html file in j3d-1_5_2-windows-i586.zip or j3d-1_5_2-linux-i586.zip (same for other systems).
