Starting Demos

Troubleshooting General Help
1

I downloaded jME2_0_1-StableDistribution and extracted the files. But there are only Jar Files. How can I install the engine? And how can I run the Demos?  :?

You can checkout the current svn repository at http://jmonkeyengine.googlecode.com/svn for the source code.

You can also include the prebuilt jars in your java build path for the project you're working on in Eclipse or Netbeans (or other IDE).

Dear god of the "Online-World" what do you think the word (jME2_0_1-Stable)Distribution might stand for?



Browse the wiki there are some ways how to get started…

@Tumaini:

I don't need the Source or build anything just to start a Demo, do I?

Are you very religous? Like do you go to church every Sunday?

Well, it must be the Distribution for Users, that want to run the Demos.

I looked through the wiki, but couldn't find anything about setting paths or starting Demos.

Maybe I need to install something, to be able to run the jar files?  :?

What did you do, when you installed the JME?

There you go, theres even a video on how to set up the source in Eclipse…

You will need the source, how else will you understand whats happening in the demos?

What the hell, do I need the Source for and what Eclipse?  :?

I don't want to understand anything about the Demos, I just want to see them.

Can't I just run the Demos somehow?

Actually I knew that right after reading your first two posts and to be honest I meant the opposite.

The distribution-jars do not include the demos. They are just for distribution...
One quote from the download side:
ME 2.0.1 Stable Distribution (contains: separated jME only jars; intended for game distribution)


If you take the other package you will find in the package jmetest the Class TestChooser.java that can start every test for you. But do not forget to include the native libraries...


Have fun,...

If you're looking for some sort of executable to 'install' the engine you won't find it.  jME is composed of a series of java libraries that you import into your project... no installation required
