-=== PPC java ===
-since we are using this mac laptop as the dedicated [[reprap]] machine, this page will contain some rants about dealing with the ppc peculiarity. first up, java. the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java|ubuntu java]] page suggests using the IBM jdk. Hint: the package you want to install (after adding the medibuntu repository and key) is ''ibm-j2sdk1.5''.
-you also need the following packages (further details may ba found at http://packages.ubuntu.com/)
-  * libstdc++5 (which is missing from the IBM jdk requirements)
-  * ant-optional (for javah task)
-  * libx11-dev (and all its dependencies)
-  * mesa-common-dev (for glext.h)
-the java3d source
-  * register at https://java3d.dev.java.net/ and follow the instructions for checkingout vecmath, j3d-core and j3d-core-utils.
-  * run ant in vecmath, then j3d-core directories
-note that the java3d source packages are called ''j3d-*'', don't confuse this with the j3d.org site and it's utility libraries. one of which you also need.
