Early Overview of Java Game Framework.
There are several systems that almost every game uses nowadays. For example, every game saves and keeps the user settings (controls, speakers volume...). Almost every game has some sort of menu too, and may of them provide a "console" mode for advanced users. Virtually all games have introduction screens, loading screens, and on screen displays.
And apart from all that, there's the actual game.
Using a framework provides you with a set of systems that work well together, and a structure for you to build your game logic and aspect. With JGF, you can then focus on your actual game development leaving the typical funcionality up to JGF.
JGF is not a "game maker" or a "tool". It is not a game engine either. JGF is a game development framework for in Java... you will be programming your game in Java and, for the time being, you will be using the only supported 3D engine "jMonkeyEngine".
