It is telling that you do not have privileges to add to the java8 folder.
This is most likely because your Java is system-installed.
Try install the Java 3D viewer files as root.
 
Perhaps run Imagej as root just once and launch the 3D viewer, if Java3D is
not installed, it will download it and install it in the right folder. Then
quit and use IJ as a normal user.
The alternative is to install Java8 locally and so you do not run in this kind
of problem.
