Following the posts in the forum and looking through the wiki, I found that theres few references to the fact that JME2 has examples for all its functions in the source jmetest package.
For me, this was the main resource to understand JME and how it works and I feel that a lot of the newbies problems can be easily solved by going through the test classes and learning from that.
Maybe the info about the jmetest package and the source code should be presented in a more prominent manner, maybe even some documentation on how to setup a project in your IDE containing the JME source and library links to run the tests?
Thanks for your input normen. Documentation is a top priority for JME2 right now, and I finally have time on my hands, and will for some time now hopefully, to work on the issue together with our merry few other doc advocates.
Totally agree,…actually we have to get rid of that downloadable-jar. Who needs this?
It has only bad effects and not a single good one beside you don't have to install svn.
For people who just want to see jME live on their PC we got webstart-demos…
SO normen,…where would you suggest to place the hints about jmeTest-package?

arhm aren't one those downloadable jars suppose to have the source aswell, or is it the nightly build, um is that still functioning :?
Yes as far as I know source is included…

I'd say hints about the source and setting it up to test in an IDE should go right into the installation/getting started notes. Every JME2 developer should have something like that, shouldn't he?
The new frontpage looks promising and has some IDE setup hints.. That might be a good spot. And I agree that the other demo/tutorial stuff should be based on these examples, not set up new ones, its kind of confusing and also hard to keep everything updated I guess..
I feel inclined to inform you that I had myself an extra-large roflwaffle with 10 packs of syrup when I read the title of this post.
What?? People don't download the entire source, including all the test and happily read through code and try stuff out?? 
That's my first instinct when it comes to code…I'm a hoarder.

The idea of the jar's, I believe, were release ready jar's that you could just stick in a package... The nightly build is indeed going happily though we need a way to advertise it :)
