 ### Add libraries to the classpath
 
 Minie comes pre-built as a single library that includes both Java classes
-and native libraries.  The Minie library depends on 2 Jme3-utilities libraries
-(jme3-utilities-heart and jme3-utilities-debug) which in turn depend on
-2 of the standard jMonkeyEngine libraries (jme3-core and jme3-terrain).
+and native libraries.  The Minie library depends on the
+jme3-utilities-heart library, which in turn depends on
+the standard jme3-core library from jMonkeyEngine.
 
 #### For Gradle projects
 
 For projects built using Maven or Gradle, it is sufficient to specify the
 dependency on the Minie library.  The build tools should automatically
 resolve the remaining dependencies automatically.
