You can use GIT to get the demos from Github. You can easily compile all projects with Ant in command line.

Edit.: Don't run the demos by using the JNLP locally if you don't have the proper references, rather recompile everything or use the online demos.

Edit.2: Have you tried the demo in the top right corner?
