We are currently evaluating VisAD and have experienced the following
problem, which appears to be connected with Java 3D threads:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: wakeupOn must be called from initialize or
processStimulus
        at javax.media.j3d.Behavior.wakeupOn(Compiled Code)
        at visad.java3d.RemoveBehaviorJ3D.setWakeup(Compiled Code)
        at visad.java3d.RemoveBehaviorJ3D.addRemove(Compiled Code)
        at visad.java3d.DisplayRendererJ3D.switchScene(Compiled Code)
        at visad.java3d.RendererJ3D.doAction(Compiled Code)
        at visad.DisplayImpl.doAction(Compiled Code)
        at visad.ActionImpl.run(Compiled Code)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Compiled Code)

This error occurs when running the GoesRetrieval example program (four times
one for each window) as well as many of the other example programs. We
presume that this is likely to be an error with our Java 3D setup or
something along those lines. We would be very grateful for any help or
observations which can be given/made. 

We have recently subscribed to the VisAD mailing list. Please excuse us if
this is a common problem already listed in the mailing list, as we have not
yet received any information. 
 
One other problem we have encounter, which is specific to the benjamin
example is shown below:

 BEWARE!!!!
 zintegration has no convergence check!
 or boundary check. Must do by hand!
