Importing Objects into Open Wonderland

Finally got chairs into Open Wonderland

This is what happens every time I try to get into the Placemarked area.  I tried 7 or 8 times with the same result.  Could this be due to a Java upgrade that I did.

I showed that I could upload my Objects into Open Wonderland.  They are in the wrong place because I have not been able to get into Place mark area yet.  Not sure if it is due to Java Upgrade.
