BoundingSphere.clone doesn’t create a valid center vector.
Here’s the patch. (Is this the right way/place to be submitting patches?)

Fixed and committed. That’s a perfect way to submit patches (as long as they are small). Thanks.
What about bigger patches? 
I only had a few hours to take a look at jME tonight, but I like what I see, and I’m probably going to be spending more time with jME in the future.

jme.dev.java.net has an Issue tracker. As well as a section for proposed patches. Perhaps we should start making better use of the tool. I keep intending to use it.
Ok. I missed that. I’m not used to looking at the left-side menu after all my time on sourceforge.
Thanks.
Well, I tried logging into dev.java.net as I couldn’t see a section for proposed patches.
However, I get this error:

Your account does not have the “Start Page - View” permission needed for you to access the page you requested in the dev.java.net domain (view your permissions). Either ask the site administrator for more permission, or log in using a different account.
You are currently logged in as mkienenb.

The problem is that my account has NO permission to do anything.
Which means I can’t use the “get help?” or “feedback” or “forum” or any other communication link that would put me in touch with the mythical “site administrator.” Catch-22.
Could someone with a working account provide me with a dev.java.net contact email or post my problem to wherever such problems can be handled by dev.java.net site administrators?
My account is “mkienenb” and my email address is “mkienenb@alaska.net”
Thanks.

You have to request Observer status.
No, I’m not just getting an error for the jME project.
I’m getting this error for the entire dev.java.net site.
I have far more privileges as a non-authenticated guest.
I can’t even read the help pages when logged in as mkienenb.
However, if there’s some kind of “Observer” status I need for jME, please add to me to it.
Thanks,
-Mike
hmmm not sure why you aren’t getting basic permissions.
You have to request the Observer status from me. Think it’s in a “join the team” link or something. Can someone who remembers help? I never had to do it, heh.
Oh wait, I found a way to add you.
ok, added. Hopefully, that helps.
Amusingly, that did help a little, but not a lot.
I now have more access to the jME project (I can now open issues), but still can’t do anything else on the dev.java.net site
That’s ok. Using the jME issue tracker is all that’s really important in the immediate future.
As long as I remember to use http://jme.dev.java.net/ to directly access the project, I’m set
Thanks again,

In case anyone else gets hit with this problem, I finally figured out that I could logout, revert back to guest status, and then at least get to the feedback web page.
It appears that the problem could be reported via
Request a task, such as unlocking CVS repository, additional project tools
https://java-net.dev.java.net/issues/enter_bug.cgi?issue_type=TASK
but of course, this works neither from guest nor from my permission-poor account
However, I was able to harvest two email addresses from the page
jbob@dev.java.net
feedback@dev.java.net
and hopefully, now that I’ve forwarded my astounding problem to them both, I will eventually get a satisfactory solution to the problem.
