I was in your shoes about a week ago. I can offer a few words of advice. 1. The documentation doesn't make it particularly easy (no disrepect to the contributors who are doing MUCH fine work) but there are a lot of concepts to get your head around regardless of how well the documentation was structured. If you want to get into JBI (and it is worth the effort) you are going to have to be realistic and give yourself a week or so to go through documentation, take a look at source etc. before it all comes together.
2. Read chapter 5 of the ServiceMix User Guide - http://incubator.apache.org/servicemix/sm30ug/5-jbi.html.... Then read it again. Then print it out, and refer to it as you are reading other documentation. This provide good conceptual overview - and provides essentials (like the fact that Endpoint is the WSDL 2 equivalent of Port in WSDL1.1 - something which confuses the hell out of you if you don't know it while reading other docs that use the terms interchangeably) 3. Go the the http://www.logicblaze.com/ and download Fuse. I believe this is a wrap around ServiceMix that has been packaged together very nicely. Once you've downloaded it, follow the documentation (which is of a pretty high standard) and get the Loanbroker example going. All of the examples for ServiceMix didn't quite pan out on my machine, but the Fuse Loanbroker worked straight away. 4. This is the bit that finally pulled it all together for me.. Spend a day tracking through the source code, the .bpel files, the .wsdl files, the java code. If you do this, while referring to the Chapter 5 docs from Step 2, you should be able to start following why things are the way they are etc. Oh, and learn Maven - well worth the effort, and you won't get very far without it.
