Modifying material of a model that uses J3M does not save modifications

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a model that uses a J3M file. E.g. in jME SDK.
2. Load the model, then modify the material file of that model and export it 
into a J3O file.
3. Load the newly exported model, 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Notice that your modifications were not saved into the new J3O file, I expect 
models saved with modifications to be properly saved.

Actually they are saved, its just that the j3m will overwrite the values on 
load if its available through the assetmanager. So only the reference to the 
j3m file should be removed when its cloned or otherwise changed.

@normen667: Yeah, that seems like the proper solution

There's no way of fixing it reliably. Changes to RenderState or Textures 
themselves cannot clear the key on the material. The user must call 
Material.setKey(null) prior to exporting the model in order for material 
changes to be serialized properly.
