(*) The SDK creates Ant-based projects that any Java IDE can import. We recommend users of other IDEs to also download the jMonkeyEngine SDK and choose “File→Import Project→External Project Assets” to create a codeless project for managing assets only. This way you can code in the IDE of your choice, and use the SDK to convert your models to .j3o format.
After downloading and installing, bookmark the jME Documentation page and start writing your first game!
