Attempting to run 3dviewer asks me to update java3d from v. 1.3 to v. 1.5 and offers to do it automatically.
The automatic updater fails to establish a connection to the server.
I am left having to do a manual update and all online instructions on how to do that are either outdated or lacking details or both.

Unfortunately, the ImageJ team does not control the server used by the 3D Viewer to install Java 3D 1.5.

In the meantime, the server in question (132.187.25.13) seems to be back up now.

In the future, we plan to update the 3D Viewer to use a less problematic version of Java 3D; see:
  https://github.com/imagej/imagej/issues/120
Such an update will prevent issues of this nature from happening again.
