[ODE] generic viewer

[Anselm Hook]

Hey your project at http://odejava.org is great.  Years ago I explored a
similar area ( java + dynamics + applet deployment) at
http://www.openmediagroup.com and had terrible problems dealing with all
of the technical limits at the time.

What you have here is easy to deploy, richer media presentation tool that
looks like it would be stable across different machines...  Nice.  If I
had time I'd port my previous project over to this.
