Re: Java Swarm

[Paul E Johnson]

1. Install Swarm. See SwarmFaq. Install requires the Objective-C stuff 
and Java stuff. Its up to you to decide which Java SDK you want and 
which edition of Swarm.

I recommend running it on RedHat Linux 7.3 and using the RPMS I provide. 
But you can feel free to try any other platform you like.

2. Get a java app like jheatbugs or jmousetrap. look in 
ftp://ftp.swarm.org/apps/java for them.  If you install a swarm 2.2 
pretest, you need a new version of jheatbugs from the testing subdir 
under java apps.

There is a java tutorial project in progress now, you can join and contribute.

To support a course I taught this past semester using Java/Swarm, I
collected a number of links to useful resources. They can be found at:

Hope this helps.

Since I don't like Java very much, I view any help I do for Java users 
as a labor of true self sacrifice, and if you or anybody else wants to 
start a Java SwarmFaq I would be delighted.  Similarly, if any Windoze 
user wants to take up Window SwarmFaq, I would be delighted.
