A new version 0.9 of Arbaro is released. See
http://sourceforge.net/projects/arbaro/
Comparing with version 0.8 there are the following
major changes:
- support for multiple trunks, so you can create
bushes and weeds now (see wheat and barley on
the home page as an example)
- some technical documentation added
- minor bug fixes

I tried it, and the results sound nice ! I could not get any texture to my
tree and leaves though (except by putting it by hand in the arbaro output
of course). Is there a way to get the texture from arbaro ?

No. At the moment Arbaro creates only the mesh objects for
the stems and leaves. You should create your own textures and
add them in the scene file to the tree parts.
I think in later versions it should be possible to map
a texture onto the triangles of the mesh, but at the moment
you have to use your own procedural textures. Trees made
with Arbaro looks best from some distance, while bitmap
textures would be interesting for close up views. So I
think lack of this feature isn't a real problem.

Not been able to get it to run on Slackware 9.1. I get:
Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: No such file or
directory
at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)

Using Sun SDK 1.4.2. Is there something else that needs to be there to run
this. My other Java apps all run fine.

What command line you are using. Did you unpack the
Zip file and use "java -jar arbaro_gui.jar"?
