The function TextureManager.loadTexture(URL,int,int,boolean says it’s not found when I try to compile, this is based on code from the Mouse/picking example in starter.pdf, the jme api docs claim it’s there too.
I did find that URL,int,int,float,boolean exists and URL,int,int exists, just thought I’d point out that apparently the docs are out of date.
Yep, they are and we know. 
Mojo’s working on some docs for the next release that should help (or begin to help) clear those kinds of issues up.
