Then the tutorial becomes:

or download jena-example.zip from somewhere

No it doesn't.
The value of that tutorial is that it helps set up Jena for use in your
Eclipse. So setting up Jena as a User Library, understanding how to
create a project etc are important. Just downloading a prebuilt project
wouldn't cut it.
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.
With respect, you are not the target audience!

Paolo - I wrote that article in response to a series of requests
privately and on jena-dev for some "how on earth do I get started?"
requests from very inexperienced users. It is, by at least an order of
magnitude, the most popular item on my blob & website combined.
I actually think we need a lot more hand-holding getting started
material. I'm actually quite keen to write some, just lack time atm!
