Could somebody confirm for me that Geometry Batches have been dropped? I spent an hour searching through code and forums. I think I mistakenly took the continued existence of the stub page in the User Guide as evidence that the feature is still available.
Does there remain any way to either apply a render state to a subset of a Geometry's vertexes; or send a subset of a Geometry's vertexes to be rendered? It's looking like the entire Geometry's vertbuf is the lowest level of control?

TriangleBatches have been dropped in jME2, but are available in jME1.
What they were really, is just a spatial with less properties than a regular Geometry object. You can still replicate the functionality by grouping all your subsets of geometry into a single Node object.
