[Ogoglio-developers] Fwd: 2 out of 3 running...

Hello Everybody

I am helping a start-up to develop in-world animation tools for
virtual worlds. We've been looking for a simple FOSS platform to use
as a base environment for coding. Once we have started building tools
we like, we plan to migrate them to popular commercial worlds.

We've spent some time on Wonderland/Darkstar/Looking Glass and decided
this was not for us. We've investigated several other platforms and
looked at many. And now we've arrived a Ogoglio.

I have been able, after some effort, been able to get Ogoglio server
and client running on Macs and Kubuntu Linux. Our first impression is
we like the overall simplicity and that there is/may be already enough
working  functionality that we could start working

The issue for us at the moment is that I cannot get a client running
properly on Windows. Two of our main coders are totally
Windows-centric. Unless I can show them how an Ogoglio client can be
made to run on Windows it is difficult for us to proceed.

Some background on my attempts:

Two cpus: Gateway with AMD Turian 64 and Dell 620 with Core 2 Duo
Both running Windows XP Home SP2 with all current patches installed
Tried: Java3D 1.5.0 & 1.5.1
Java JDK 1.5.0.12, 1.6.0.01 & 02
Ant not loaded but not trying to build anything.

Server/Tomcat seems fine. Firefox shows Java plugins loaded. Java
-version reports correctly. Using bin/startup.bat from top directory.
Using http://127.0.0.1:8080/og

I have frequently run with clean installs of Ogoglio.

Client always allows logging in/out with no issues.

When I click on Login, the client inevitably freezes/hangs with all
options saying 'Loading...'

So any and all advice will be appreciated.
