--- Comment #2 from Xerxes Rånby <xerxes at zafena.se> ---
It appears the "Sun" Java3D and "Sun" JOGL jars are missing on the sagenb
server:

Note that these files are missing and return error 404:
http://alpha.sagenb.org/java/sage3d/sun-libs/j3dcore.jar
http://alpha.sagenb.org/java/sage3d/sun-libs/gluegen-rt.jar

When Sun got aquired by Oracle, developement of Java3D and JOGL stopped.
Official statements by Oracle are found inside their support forum and JIRA
bugtracker:

https://java.net/jira/browse/JAVA3D-667

The Java3D and JOGL project got forked and now Java3D and JOGL are maintained
by the JogAmp community:

I will close this bug as INVALID since it is caused by missing jar files on the
sagenb server.

I suggest you inform the sagemath project that the Java3D and JOGL files are
missing on the server and that there now exist an updated community maintained
version that sagemath can use.
