It might change again! ;-)

Wouldn't be easier to provide a JenaHelloWorld example for people to
checkout/download.

Then the tutorial becomes:

svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/jena/Jena2/jena-example/trunk
jena-example
or download jena-example.zip from somewhere

Eclipse > Import > Existing Project into Worskspace

I find tutorials with a lot of screen shots annoying if they have too
many screen shots. (And they are expensive to maintain for the editor)
If there is a short-cut, I prefer that than a long sequence of press
button here and there.
Also, it's difficult to draw a line between Eclipse and Jena... is it
a tutorial on Jena or on how to use Eclipse? ;-)

But, it's you writing the tutorial, so your call.
