I’ve been going through the SDK docs (version 3.4) and I’ve come across a page which seems to have an error. The “Project Creation” page says to start by selecting a template “JME3 > Basic Game (with Gradle)” or “JME3 > Basic Game (with Ant)”. Later on, in the Project Configuration section, it says to open the project properties and then go to the “Run” section. However, from what I’ve tried across versions 3.4.1 and 3.6.1, if you create a basic game with Gradle, that Run category doesn’t exist in the project properties. When using the other options, Basic Game (with Ant) in 3.6 or BasicGame in 3.4, the Run category does exist. I’m not sure if the error is in the SDK itself or the docs.
This one: jMonkeyEngine SDK: Creating Projects :: jMonkeyEngine Docs?
Ant and Gradle projects are quite different and their configuration is presented accordingly. The documentation just doesn’t keep up with the technology.
If you are talking about the page I linked. With Gradle you can skip that, I think those are given in the creation wizard already. But all the configuration is nevertheless available in the SDK. And definitely you should stick on the Gradle. After the initial shock (if any), you are better off with it.
