Hello I am a new jmonkey user,
I am currently using Linux Mint 17 Qiana and having a lot of issues running jmonkey on it, (which seems strange as i run netbeans eclipse for other projects with no problems)
a quick bit of system info, I am using oracle java, not openjdk
java version “1.7.0_65”
Java™ SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_65-b17)
Java HotSpot™ 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.65-b04, mixed mode)
So I start with the installation after downloading the SDK. so run the 64bit installer,
./jmonkeyplatform-linux-x64.shConfiguring the installer…
Searching for JVM on the system…
Preparing bundled JVM …
Extracting installation data…
Running the installer wizard…
[Error] wizard.xml.0:43:10: cvc-complex-type.2.4.b: The content of element ‘wizard’ is not complete. One of ‘{component}’ is expected.
this seems to finish without any error during installation, not sure what the error above is apart from it appeared before the installation process took place.
Next I loaded jmonkey from the desktop shortcut, it starts up, and asks for a projects directory, i set ~/JMonkeyProjects
i am prompted about netbeans 8 being out, and there are 35 updates to apply. I figure i will apply the 35 updates 3.0.5 to 3.0.10
Android Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Applet Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] AssetPack Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Blender Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Cinematics Editor [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Code Checks [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Code Palette [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Desktop Deployment Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Font Creator [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] GLSL Editor [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] IDE Platform Native Execution [1.25.4.1 -> 1.25.5.1] Material Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Model Import Tool [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] NavMeshGen [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] NiftyGUI Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Obfuscation Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] OgreXML Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] OgreXML Tools [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Project Templates [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Project Test Data [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] SDK Core [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] SDK Engine [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] SDK Libraries [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] SceneComposer [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Terrain Editor [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Tests Template [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Texture Editor [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Update Centers [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Upgrader [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Vehicle Creator [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Wavefront OBJ Support [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] Welcome Screen [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] jME3 and SDK Documentation [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] jMonkeyEngine3 External Libraries [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10] jMonkeyEngine3 Library [3.0.5 -> 3.0.10]
clicking next i am taken to a licence agreement page, the licence is missing for each component, but i can accept the terms, and click update, so I do.
a progress bar at the bottom tells me the download is in progress, a balloon appears telling me to restart, so i restart
when jmonkey restarts, it requests that i choose a project folder, however the JMonkeyProjects fold i set last time wasn’t created, so i open a console and create the folder.
when i check for updates, it appears that all the same updates need to be installed, so i repeat the process, this time i close jmonkey sdk rather than restart.
again after reloading jmonkey the updates still need to be applied. ok so I need help trying to understand why I can’t upgrade
So I would like to be able to upgrade to .10 under linux as this is my primary operating system.
Next up I tried to create the JME3 Tests project, so I did the new project -> JME3 -> JME3 Tests, then next JmeTests and finish. I get a message telling me to resolve problems. I click the Resolve Problems… button, select “junit” could not be found item in the list and click resolve. Another dialogue appear saying junit plugin 1.1 will be installed. again another next. this time the licence agreement appears with some text about the common public licence. I accept and install. Now a progress bar appears and tells me it is downloading. this tells me it is unsuccessful.

I just discovered

just run, after the installation and you can now update plugins
chmod 755 jmonkeyplatform/jdk/jre/bin/*
I think this is a bug in the installation bundle, please can this be fixed, as I am sure it will cause some head scratching. I only found this by trying to run the JME3 tests without the junit plugin.
Thanks
Francis
