I am aware of the following implementations of Java 3D:

• Sun's Solaris and Win32 runtimes.
• SGI's IRIX implementation.
• HP's HP-UX version.
• Blackdown has a Linux port of Java 3D in the works.
• The jFree-D implementation for various platforms supporting GNU tools and OpenGL Java bindings.

Each of these support some particular version(s) of the JDK/runtime. To get the specifics on the Java platform versions and OS versions supported, I would recommend visiting the homepages for each of the implementations above. Short list of links to SDKs and runtimes:
