My description of the situation was intentionally provocative :-( I just wanted to draw your attention to the fact that the current JVM integration could be more user friendly than what it is now! A more systematic tutorial would also be very nice for inexperienced users like me :-)
Well, you're then obviously in a unique position to write such a tutorial, because you'll notice things that are hard to find in other documentation, and you'll notice where the APIs are lacking in usability. :) More to the point, you could write a draft/skeleton of such a tutorial, and then recruit our help for things that you can't find or understand. Sure, that was a common open-source-project-reply ("if you want improvements, do them yourself"), but I think it would be a very valuable and highly appreciated contribution. I wrote many of the current examples we have, and if those are hard to follow, I'm not surprised - I absolutely suck at tutorials and documentation-for-novices. That's why it would be great to have contributions in that area.
