[x3d-public] JDK 1.5 and X3DJSAIL

[John Carlson]

I don’t like that you’re building a dependency on JDK 1.5 (4 major versions back) into the X3DJSAIL build by including exificient, Don.  Let’s try to support current or at least recent standards.  Thanks! We may have to leave NetBeans behind and go with something on the web, which I’ve been working on developing with X3DJSONLD.

Let’s consider converting your Java codebase over to TypeScript (and ultimately, JavaScript).  We may have to build a web service to do conversions.

In otherwords, I can’t build exificient with Java 9.  See the following errors:

Switching to 1.6 or 9.0 doesn’t work. I haven’t tried 1.7 or 1.8
