[IDV #ZJC-641381]: IDV - VGEE IDV

Hi Valentijn-

> Institution: ITC
> Package Version: 1.1
> Operating System: os.name:Linux; os.arch:i386; 
> os.version:2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp;
> Hardware Information: java.vendor:Sun Microsystems Inc.; 
> java.version:1.5.0_06; java.home:/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06;
> Inquiry: Hi guys,

> I love the VGEE initiative, but was wondering how the vgee codebase is

> published under GPL?

They are available under the LGPL.  I've attached a JAR of the VGEE
source code that will compile against the latest version.  I'm not sure where 
you got the vgeetools.jar from.  We only supported a vgee.jar.  

Development of VGEE has ceased.  It was actually developed elsewhere and
it became a burden for us to maintain as we advanced the IDV. Unfortunately,
the web site and webstart are broken. I should just remove the files so
at least the link would be broken.  I agree it is a nice interface, but we
have no resources to maintain it and continue development of the IDV.  It
would make a nice community contribution and could be installed as a plugin.

This is a versioning error.  The VGEE JAR file was built against IDV 1.2b2 and 
the
webstart version is running against IDV 1.1.

This was a problem with the Java3D for VGEE not pointing to the 1_1 version, 
but even
with that fix, it's broken for the reason above.
