Really, I seem to have had better luck checking out the source from CVS into an Eclipse project and then just having anything I'm developing reference that. These guys seem to be pretty good about only checking in when things are NOT broken. :o
Anyway, if you can't or don't want to do CVS I would recommend downloading the nightly build as it is basically the same thing…there hasn't been a whole lot changed to jME as of late, but hopefully things will pick up again.
I don't believe this is a problem with the jME builds but a problem with yours as they work fine for me.
Verify you have all the necessary jars in your path and if it's saying it's missing things, track those down and make sure they are visible. Sorry I can't be more help, but I'm trying to debug a problem that I'm not having.
The user's guide is outdated, the maintainer has not been around for awhile. So, there are certainly things that are different.
When you refer to these problems, are you talking about code in the User's Guide (which is not going to be right) or code in jmetest.TutorialGuide.* (which is fine and working)?
The runtime error and the missing class "CameraCurveController" which actually is "CurveController". The "Camera" was part of a comment that got in the wrong line.
Still, there are some problems that definitely lie on jme side.
You say the tutorial is outdated. Okay that's an explanation for why the classes can't be found.
But:
Then the SDK doc is outdated, too. As it fits perfectly to the code used in the tutorial.
To be more specific:
The (old) code tutotial as well as the SDK doc mention following classes that don't exist any more:
com.jme.sound.SoundAPIController;
com.jme.sound.SoundPool;
com.jme.sound.scene.ProgrammableSound;
I saw that in the jme-sound.jar, the sub directory now is "jmex" instead of "jme". But still nowhere in any of the sub directories can one of these classes be found.
Okay maybe the code samples in jmetest.TutorialGuide are updated. But they are contained only as .class, not as .java. So I can't look at the code.
Where do i get them without downloading the whole jME Code via CVS ?
And much more important:
If the SDK doc is outdated,too, where do i get one that is up to date?
It would make learning jME much easier, if i had a proper documentation
I don't want to download the whole jME code via CVS.
I don't want to hack around in the engine code itself. I just want to use it.
All I want is the compiled jME library (which i already have).
The SDK doc is not out dated, it references the current release (0.8).
Just start making use of cvs repo, it'd make life much easier for you. One thing we'll look into is adding a doc.zip to the nightly builds, that way, javadocs will be done each night as well.
Immediately made a look into HelloIntersection.java.
All the missing sound class imports (like SoundAPIController) have been replaced by
“import com.jmex.sound.fmod.SoundSystem;”
Now i’m pretty confident that things will work.
But one note, though:
All the removed classes (i.e. SoundAPIController) can still be found in the SDK doc.
Every removed thing that is in the outdated tutorial can still be found in the current documentation (jME Documentation version 0.8)
That’s what confused me (an still does…).
Anyway. Now that I can look at the 0.8-code, it should be a lot easier.
(PS: I can’t use CVS because my PC has no internet connection, as long as i’m in my parents’ house during vacation. And my father’s PC, with which I’m online, has no Eclipse, no CVS, nothing at all. Except a browser and a bad working wireless keyboard )
