Problem drawing a Box

[Izanagi]

I am new to J3D and cant get a basic Box drawn.
Right now I am just play with sample code and replacing the ColorCube constructor with the Box constructor wih no success.
It compiles and shows a black canvas, I made sure to add import com.sun.j3d.utils.geometry.Box;

Please set me right. What is wrong?

Here the code I am focusing on:
//Commented out-- //objRoot.addChild(new ColorCube(0.4));
       //My Box code
      objRoot.addChild(new Box());

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28   29   30   31

public class HelloJava3Da extends Applet {     public HelloJava3Da() {         setLayout(new BorderLayout());         GraphicsConfiguration config =            SimpleUniverse.getPreferredConfiguration();         Canvas3D canvas3D = new Canvas3D(config);         add("Center", canvas3D);         BranchGroup scene = createSceneGraph();         // SimpleUniverse is a Convenience Utility class        SimpleUniverse simpleU = new SimpleUniverse(canvas3D);    // This will move the ViewPlatform back a bit so the   // objects in the scene can be viewed.        simpleU.getViewingPlatform().setNominalViewingTransform();         simpleU.addBranchGraph(scene);     } // end of HelloJava3Da (constructor)      public BranchGroup createSceneGraph() {    // Create the root of the branch graph   BranchGroup objRoot = new BranchGroup();        //Commented out-- //objRoot.addChild(new ColorCube(0.4));       //My Box code      objRoot.addChild(new Box());    return objRoot;     } // end of CreateSceneGraph method of HelloJava3Da

I am sure it is a simple mistake...

Box box = new Box();
box.setAppearance(new Appearance());   // Just using the defaults.
objRoot.addChild(box);

Thanks. It was the set appearance that i lacked.

I'm not use to needing soo many setters per object.
