Still waters run deep
Water is one of the more difficult things to render well. You can't simulate an ocean by creating an animated mesh, or a battalion of particle emitters. If your code does not calculate all the light reflections and refractions perfectly, the water simulation is bound to look like either melting plastic or leaking mercury.
The jMonkeyEngine comes prepackaged with two different ready-made water effects for your scenes: SimpleWaterProcessor and WaterFilter.
