The j3d.org 3D utility library
There is an additional 3D utility library needed to be able to open and work with STL files. Download it from here (right-mouse-click on the Download link in your web browser), and save it in your home directory. Then install it along with the Java3D .jar files (via sudo again):

Download it from here (!!!!!DO NOT !!!!!!right-mouse-click on the Download link in your web browser and save it in your home directory. because you will spend the next few days in java hell trying to work out why you are getting

After reformating and reinstalling, I still couldn't get the reprap host software to work. And this is the reason why. That you for posting this.
I still, mind you, think that the host software is bloated. I think it should consist of several smaller utilities for slice-n-dice, fill patterns, stepper exercisers, etc. It could even have a "build animation" as the last step. That'd be much more accessible than a monolithic implementation. But maybe I'm just to steeped in "The Unix Way" and need to be more flexible.
I wouldn't care so much if I could get it to work, obviously.

Jgilmore,
I agree with you on the monolithic nature of the beast, but building a wholly self contained software like this was the easiest way to get it going.
I imagine after we really get going, someone will come along and break up the software into different chunks to make life easier.
Also, we're working on getting all the libraries into the .jar itself to make things easier installation wise.
