Ah, it was a problem with updating my specifications folder, and my x3d-code in general. I am used to git pull where it pulls down the whole repository.
Builds fine now. I will look into removing my patches.
Now I have to scp it to my Linux box where pyjnius is installed. Or just the jars.
Thanks,
John

This bug emerged and was fixed over last few days as part of O-O refactoring. It also involved an XML Schema and X3D Object Model change, might not be fully propagated yet... I just checked in those mods to XML schema and X3D Object Model.
Not 100% sure if the deployment upload was 100% complete. We are having difficulties with uploading. Latest date is always visible at bottom of the X3D Java SAI Library page and in version control, am careful to only check in successfully compiling/running builds.
http://www.web3d.org/specifications/java/X3dJavaSceneAuthoringInterface.html
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/java/
Recommendation #1: use version control if you want to build the code, am typically checking in daily improvements.
Recommendation #2: use the .jar to run the example code.
http://www.web3d.org/specifications/java/jars/X3dJavaSceneAccessInterface3.3.full.jar
Thanks for trying this out... looking forward to fixing any blockers.

A number of new data types have been added since X3D version 3.0, extra attention is needed to ensure that new classes and methods consistently support new specification additions. Method stubs need to be implemented (typically adapting source code from the Xj3D implementation).

When complete, this will be a big step forward for rigourously maintaining all X3D specifications, quality assurance tools and Web3D Consortium resources completely correct and in synch. I expect it will be especially helpful when we get to the stage of experimentation with X3D version 4.
