Debug Cult3D Java

There is no really easy way of debugging Cult3D Java code. One way of debug is to write debug text to the Java console at certain points in your code.
The output ends up in the applications Java console that runs the Cult3D scene.

### How to open the Java console

- In Netscape's webbrowser 4.7 you open the Java console by choosing the menu alternative Tools-->Java Console. In earlier versions of Netscape you can find the Java console in the View menu
- In Microsoft's webbrowser Internet Explorer 4.0 and later you must first activate the Java console for it to appear in the menu. You activate the Java console by choosing the menu alternative Tools-->Internet Options, there you select the tab Advanced. Search for the topic "Microsoft VM" and make sure that all three checkboxes are checked. Restart then Internet Explorer for the settings to be activated. In the restarted Internet Explorer you find the Java console by choosing the menu alternative Menu-->Java console.
  Be sure that you have the Java console open before you load the Cult3D object, otherwise you will not see the messages printed in Cult3D's initializing phase.
- In Acrobat and Acrobat Reader the output you write is written to a file in the same folder you installed the plug-in.
