Is it possible to load a JME 1.0 binary model into JME 2.0?? Unfortunately, I cannot easily get my hands on the original collada model. The error I curently get is:
Mar 8, 2009 5:13:16 PM com.jme.util.export.binary.BinaryClassLoader fromName
SEVERE: Could not access constructor of class 'com.jme.image.Texture'!
Some types need to have the BinaryImporter set up in a special way. Please doublecheck the setup.

i don't think its possible 
I was afraid of that.
Could I read it into JME 1.0 and write it out in some other format that JME 2.0 can then read???

With a little work, you may be able to export to the XML format, and load that into jME 2. Beware though, I haven't heard of anyone actually doing this and it will most likely require manual editing of the XML to get it to work with version 2. I can't guarantee it will work, but its something for you to try if you really wanted.
Thanks. I'm having a bit of trouble locating an XML exporter method. If you happen to know where to look, I would appreciate a pointer.

I think exporting XML is a 2.0 feature :), which doesn't help.
It turns out that the problem with my binary models is the change in how textures are handled (i.e., the generalization to 1D, 2D and 3D).
I was thinking I would remove the texture in 1.0, re-export the binary, and then re-import it into 2.0. However, I can't seem to remove the texture, I assume because it is "baked" into the model??? I tried the obvious
model.clearRenderState(RenderState.RS_TEXTURE);
but the render state was in fact null before I even did this. Any suggestions for how to get rid of the text, so it is not dumped into the binary?

The texturestate may be in another node, child or parent. You can use either Scene Graph Dump or Scene Monitor to find where it is located.
