Where can I find a high detail sphered sky box texture without landscapes and sun, which actually works and doesn’t give weird results in jme3?
How can I load a scene composed in SceneComposer?
Where can I find code for realistic looking sun/moon/stars/clouds?
Where are all the pre-installed example assets located on my computer?
Is there a change list of jme3? Because I want to know, which updates I install by clicking on “Help”->“Check for Updates” in jme3 and when the grass/tree system got installed.
What are the nightly builds?
How can I realize a lake in jme3? I can only make the see with WaterFilters.
Sorry for the missing further information to my questions, but I missclicked on “insert snippet…” and lost the whole text I typed.
Cheers

I don't know what you mean by weird results, but I have one word! Googlicious (check licensing terms on whatever you use)

GeoTools has a solar position calculator built-in.

If you created a test project, it should be in your jMonkeyProjects folder (probably ~/home/user/Documents/jMonkeyProjects)

They are builds of the engine that are built every night. You can choose to use these builds or the stable builds in the update settings of the SDK.

I highly suggest reading this. Please elaborate on what you're trying to do and what you have done already.. provide a concise test case so that we can further help you!

Thanks for your answer, but I still don’t know how to load a scenme into the game. https://wiki.jmonkeyengine.org/legacy/doku.php/sdk:scene_composer only shows how to load a scene to scene composer.
I looked into my project folder, but there are only my custom assets, not the pre-installed ones 
And GeoTools, what is it?
Once its saved as a j3o you can load it into the scene like so (from here)
[java]
Spatial elephant = assetManager.loadModel(“Models/Elephant/Elephant.j3o”);
rootNode.attachChild(elephant);
[/java]
GeoTools is a library for working with geospatial and other scientific data.

Ok, this code worked:
Code:
Node tank = (Node) assetManager.loadModel("Models/HoverTank/Tank2.mesh.xml");
But where is the tank model located on my hard drive? I cannot find the pre-installed objects/textures/fonts on my pc. I would like to test my code with those objects! I don't find those things in my project folder, but I can load them ???
Edit:
I'm now really confused with GeoTools. It seems to be anything else than that what I want. I'm searching for realistic looking sun/moon etc. I don't understand, why making a terrain, using textures and other fundamental things are easy in jme3 but there is no real skybox or no real sun in jme3.
When I use the sun of the LightScattering test case, the sun is too gigantic, because I don't scale my terrain up to 400x like in the test case.

The test assets are in the test-data.jar

Jme3's intent is not to provide assets, the test assets are intended for test only, if you want a realistic sun or moon...you 'll have to make one or find an artist too do so.
The sun in the light scattering test is just a skybox found on cgtextures.com.

This only looks like a lake again, but is a see in reality. The water filter has the dimensions of the terrain, I only can change the height. But, I want to have a lake on a mountain. If I set the height of the "lake" to the mountains height, the water filter will be over the whole terrain.
Use SimpleWater, its based on a Quad
