I may have to ponder this over some pumpkin pie, or at least try to find out what the Best Practices are thought to be for this. I thought the javax.* packages were supposed to be standard extensions, preinstalled or maintained by the JRE; and I wonder what other incompatibilities will be introduced if we start substituting our own updates to Java3d.

Generally not a good idea to rely on it. For all intents and purposes 
Java3D is dead and with it vecmath.  Updates to this are not available 
and haven't been since about 2008 or so. The latest version on Maven is 
1.3.1 from around 2004, nowhere near the "current" version of 1.5.1.

For AV3D 3.0 I've totally removed vecmath and implemented my own 
replacement for it.
