Dear all,

sorry for my bad responsiveness.

The duplicate command error is not the problem. In fact, this error
will still occur. The actual problem was that some features of
the 3D viewer require Java3D >= 1.5. Mac OSX, however, has an older
version of Java3D pre-installed.

While it is possible to update the Java3D on Mac, it's not really
conveniant (you have not only to download Java 3D, but also Jogl).

I just uploaded a new version of the 3D viewer, which checks if Java3D
is available at all, and if, which version. If a version below 1.5 is
discovered, it offers the user to download automatically a newer
Java3D and installing it to the correct places. Afterwards, ImageJ has
to be restarted.

I tested it on the machines I have available here, but since the
installation process is OS dependant, there may remain problems which
I have not found so far, therefore I very much appreciate your
feedback.

Best wishes,
Bene
