I have installed jME on new installation of ElementeryOS(Based on Ubuntu 12.04).
When I try to update(nightly/stable) and restart jME, the updates doesn’t take effect. I still get those updates as pending.
No matter how many time I try, those updates are never taking effect.
Why is this happening?
I am starting jME SDK using this file : /home/irfan/jmonkeyplatform/bin/jmonkeyplatform
Download the new installer, if you can update stable you still use the old one.
I am downloading jME SDK(Linux 64bit) installer from this page : http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/downloads/ … Isn’t this the latest/new one.
Default plugin > settings
I have redownloaded the same installer again and re-ran the update process, but the result is stili same.
Again, the installer you can download there contains 3.0.5 and can not receive any updates.

i had that problem,too. I switcht to windows and it works ^^.
You can try building the sdk from source, maybe this helps.
Sorry if I sound stupid 
…but from where do I download jME SDK it that receives nightly updates?
To solve the problem do a “chmod +x *” in jmonkeyplatform/bin
But as said, your installation seems to be messed up otherwise too but I guess if you are daring enough to use nightly you won’t mind.
I tried different combinations of command on different locations. But I had to change permission to the directories.
chmod -R 777 jmonkeyplatform
chmod -R 777 .jmonkeyplatform
chmod -R 777 .jmonkeyplatform-installer
I wonder if setting permission only to jmonkeyplatform on bin wouldn’t done it.
I alwasy use nighty, since Alpha 2. But, with time my skills hasn’t improved, so everytime I launch jME, I need to start anew. Hopefully things will turn out better this time.
If you use nightly your setup is prone to break.
Is there any quick way to roll back to stable release?
Delting your settings folder might work but not really, no. Thats why we repeat that you shouldn’t use it all the time.
Got it. Thanks.
Just a heads up if anyone stumbles upon this old thread.
The jmonkeyplatform, .jmonkeyplatform and .jmonkeyplatform-installer folders are at /home/<user_name>/ . This is the default target of the jME installer.
And among these three folders, two of them, .jmonkeyplatform and .jmonkeyplatform-installer, are hidden by default. To see them in the file manager(nautilus in ubuntu) you’ll have to press Ctrl + h(unhide hidden files).
And if any of the chmod command results in following error,
chmod: changing permissions of ‘.jmonkeyplatform/3.0/xyz’: Operation not permitted
Try using sudo. For example chmod -R 777 .jmonkeyplatform would be sudo chmod -R 777 .jmonkeyplatform
I am using Ubuntu 14.04.
