Why am I missing /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries/libjawt.dylib on MacOSX?

I have been trying to install Java3D 1.5.2 on my Mac (OS 10.10). First I tried using the installer referenced in this answer by whiskeyspider. It installed the files, but I got an error when I tried to run a program. So I cleared out /Library/Java/Extensions and tried to install manually in ~/.local/lib, a directory I created previously, and just include the jars in my project's build path (Eclipse). Despite including the jars and native library locations (for the JOGL jars) I get the following error when I try to run the program:

Exception in thread "J3D-Renderer-1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /Users/brianmc7/.local/lib/jogl/lib/libjogl_awt.jnilib: dlopen(/Users/brianmc7/.local/lib/jogl/lib/libjogl_awt.jnilib, 1): Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries/libjawt.dylib

It turns out that the directory /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries/ doesn't exist. How can I fix this problem?

EDIT: I should probably also mention that I am using JDK 1.8.0_40 early access.

Java3D was abandoned by Sun Microsystems / Oracle in 2008. Java3D has been maintained by the JogAmp community since 2012. Yes, Java3D 1.6 is composed of several pre-releases but they work much better than Java3D 1.5.

My own tutorial explains in details how to install the very latest version of Java3D.
