Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Seems similar to my uni course matt1019. Have you started using Swing yet? We've just touched on it but haven't been required to build any Swing app's in the coursework as of yet.
post your java swing related questions if you have any and I will try and answer them to the best of my abilities. (also PM me the link to the discussion, incase I do not see your java posts )
