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.
