I found two java3D (j3dcore.jar, j3dutils.jar and vecmath.jar) on my system:
one at
/Library/Java/Extensions
and one at
Fiji.app/java/macosx-java3d/Home/lib/ext

I removed both a placed the three files freshly downloaded from the link
you provided (https://java3d.java.net/binary-builds.html) either at one
place or another, but to no avail.

Is this considered still a work in progress (I can wait, I don't have an
urgent need of the 3D viewer), or is is supposed to be working right now
with Java 1.8.?

Thanks,
