A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Java 3D objects do not display in a window with JDK 1.7.

REGRESSION. Last worked in version 6u24

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Compile example and then run it.
../jdk1.7.0/bin/javac -cp ../j3d-1_5_2-solaris-x86/lib/ext/j3dcore.jar:../j3d-1_5_2-solaris-x86/lib/ext/j3dutils.jar:../j3d-1_5_2-solaris-x86/lib/ext/vecmath.jar HelloUniverse1.java
../jdk1.7.0/bin/java -cp ../j3d-1_5_2-solaris-x86/lib/ext/j3dcore.jar:../j3d-1_5_2-solaris-x86/lib/ext/j3dutils.jar:../j3d-1_5_2-solaris-x86/lib/ext/vecmath.jar HelloUniverse1

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A window with a rotating cube.
ACTUAL -
A blank window.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
