workaround javaws worked, then stopped. (quits when preferences selected)
I followed the FAQ for "crashes when I want to edit preferences" and on my debian linux machine I get downloads happening, timing out, and causing a quit, but twice I got all the way to opening preferences.
It is slow and hit or miss. How can I run so javaws downloading is not needed, but I still need to use the SweetHome3D-Java3D1.3.jnlp settings?

John,
The problems you describe make me think your video drivers aren't uptodate. I had a similar problem while using Ubuntu 9.10, but ever since updating to Ubuntu 10.04 SH3D works like a charm.

John,
Version 3.0 is not an installed version, but a kind of inbetween. It checks online whether it's still current. If so, it starts, if not it downloads and starts. Seen the fact that Emmanuel (the main programmer) is pretty busy for the moment, it might take a while before v3.0 is out of beta.
You can (try to) download and install version 2.6, which is the last official release. If you install all the plug-ins (read the tutorial ) you have something that's similar to v3.0,

John,
If you know how to build a Java program with Ant, you still have the option to build your own version from source code. See README.TXT file for more information. The easiest Ant target is probably the one named jarExecutable.

"The easiest Ant target is probably the one named jarExecutable."
Oh... I figured that out and built it with no errors.
ant makes a file install/SweetHome3D-2.6.jar
When I execute that it puts this to the screen:
john@toolbench:/moredata/SweetHome3D-2.6-src/install$ ./SweetHome3D-2.6.jar Java 3D WARNING : reported GLX version = 1.2 GLX version 1.3 or higher is required The reported version number may be incorrect. There is a known ATI driver bug in glXQueryVersion that incorrectly reports the GLX version as 1.2 when it really is 1.3, so Java 3D will attempt to run anyway. Segmentation fault

The ant compile also gave these warnings:
