This must be a problem with your JVM. I just ran Test41
successfully under JDK 1.4, and it calls D.addReference(R,C).
Furthermore, the Exception says that a class in visad.java3d
cannot access a protected variable (enabled) in a subclass
in another package. I couldn't find anything on the JDK 1.4
web pages about changing the meaning of protected (and Sun
would be crazy to make such a change). However, I have
changed 'enabled' to 'getEnabled()' which should work around
this possible problem in your JVM (since I was in the process
of doing a release anyways).
The new release includes Tom Rink's great new color-filled
contours. To see it, run Test37 and click the "fill" box on
the contour widget. Note this only works if a RealType is
mapped to both IsoContour and RGB (or RGBA).
Cheers,
Bill
