[TIP]
====
To install a jMonkeyEngine SDK plugin, go to `menu:Tools[Plugins>Available Plugins]`. +
(Currently only jME 3.0 stable SDK, jME 3.1+ does not yet support plugins)
====


== Libraries with Maven coordinates

JMonkeyEngine projects built using https://gradle.org/[Gradle]
or https://maven.apache.org/[Maven]
can easily incorporate pre-built libraries from public Maven repositories.

"GroupID:ArtifactID" entries link to package information;
follow these links to determine the version ID of the latest release.
"Name" entries link to relevant documentation, if any.

Lemur is GUI toolkit for making user interfaces in jMonkeyEngine applications. It supports standard 2D UIs as well as fully 3D UIs. The modular design allows an application to use all or some of it as needed or even to build a completely new custom GUI library on top.
