axis arrow colors of y- and z-axis should be switched

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The colors of the axis arrows in the jmonkeyengine sdk 3.0RC2 are mapped as
x -> red
y -> blue
z -> green,
which confused me a lot while loading a self-made model (of coordinate axes), 
today.

Imho the natural order of colors (r, g, b) should correspond to the natural 
order of axis (x, y, z). So the right colors would be
x -> red
y -> green
z -> blue.

At least Blender and some other tools I know of, seem to obey this implicit 
rule.

Thank you for you great work

Can you please explain how to reproduce this bug? 
(Which are the axes you have mentioned and how do we create them). 
I have tried creating an 'Arrow' axis. But that shows arrow with white color.

It's rather an usabilty issue than bug. What I mean are just the 3 colored 
coordinate axis displayed in the center of the scene in the opengl window (see 
scree shot attached).

The colors of y and z axis should be swapped as described above. In addition it 
would be even clearer, if they were labeled x, y, and z.

I know it's a minor thing, but I believe this could make the life of newbies 
(still fiddling with their fingers to visualize the 
right-handed-coordinate-system) quite a bit easier.
