So, it seems like the number of amateur contributors getting interested in maptool is increasing, and i thought it would be a good idea possibly, to set aside a little corner of the forums for java coding questions, instead of cluttering up bug reports/feature ideas/the general tool boards from newbs (like me) with inane and possibly stupid questions/comments/remarks.
I envision it being called "Java, maptools, und joo!" (or maybe just "and you") with the info being "an advanced discussion on the inner workings of maptools, to help developers get help from other developers. For people that dont know what the %$# they're doing" (second part optional )
I could hunt down another java forum, i'm sure, for assistance, but it seems like since this is just an advanced project, the best place to get help, is from the people that have been working on it.
or you could just tell people like me that are trying to learn java, but really have no clue (yet?) to shove off trying to much with the code, i wont be offended , and possibly grateful for being told i'm getting in way over my head
(yet another) sub forum idea

Re: (yet another) sub forum idea
Hmm, that's a good idea. I'm going to bed shortly (2:30AM here) but I'll create a new forum, probably here under "General", and designate it as Java-related questions. That will also give us a place to put a Sticky with suggested reading and links to other references.

Re: (yet another) sub forum idea
The Developer forum might be a good place for that sub forum.

Re: (yet another) sub forum idea
Okay, the new forum is Java Programming Info.
I've moved this thread into the new forum so that others will have an idea of what should go here.
I fully expect that most of the questions will be about MapTool, but if not, please remember to put "DT", "CT", "IT", or "TT" into the title of your thread so that others can quickly tell which tool it relates to.
