This is my current version of java:
C:Program FilesJava Monkey Engine>java -version
java version "1.4.2_18"
Java™ 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_18-b06)
Java HotSpot™ Client VM (build 1.4.2_18-b06, mixed mode)
And Ant:
C:Program FilesJava Monkey Engine>ant -version
Apache Ant version 1.7.1 compiled on June 27 2008
Well, the wierd thing is that I followed every according to the tutorial: http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=chapter_1_-_getting_started
I "updated" from jdk1.6 to j2sdk1.4 and from jre1.6 to j2re1.4
Somehow its not ok this way…
I hope someone could help me out with this… Is the tutorial right about the version thing ?
I build the tutorial way: command line: ant dist-all
Geertings,

You need at least version 1.5 for jME. 1.6 is fine too though.
So probably the wiki is outdated.
I'm probably wrong but:
isn't j2sdk1.4 a later sdk then jdk1.6
or am I misunderstanding things now :S??
no.
1.6 (or Java 6 as it's also called) comes after 1.4 (also called Java 2 1.4).
1.4 is pretty old by now.
ok, my bad…
I actually never heard of j2sdk1.4 so I thought it was a newer java or something… (j2 … )
thx for helping, I'm updating back to jdk6u11/jre6u11 now
Yeah Sun was going through a weird phase with the whole "2" thing back then.
I'd recommend using an IDE if you want to do some serious programming (though it's not required).
yeah I'm using NetBeans as IDE now…
I got the build working, so now I can use jme, but even the User manual pdf is verry outdated…
for instance I got a example class called TestSphere. so I copied it, read it, tried to build it and got an error that AlphaState(com.jme.scene.state.AlphaState) could not be found… So I searched the lib's of jme that I added to the project but I couldnt find a AlphaState anywhere… why are those user manuals/wiki so outdated :S??
is AlphaState renamed or something?
jme1 AlphaState -> jme2 BlendState

parts of the wiki have been updated to jme2 versions: http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/wiki/doku.php?id=learning_jme_2
