I totally agree.
But you can't do everything, there
May be those interested in Forrest2 but are holding backto do this, or
They may simply be concentrating on the official Forrest 1 version.
Yes. As you know I am concerned about diverting attention from Forrest
1. Personally I have outgrown Forrest1 and need a leaner, meaner version
(as explained in my original RT). However, that doesn't mean Forrest 1
should die, only that my *personal* interest in it is waning.
I believe that my work on Forrest2 will, in the long term, be of
interest to the wider community. But first individual community members
will have to outgrow Forrest1 as I have or Forrest2 will have to be a
suitable drop in replacement for Forrest1. The latter is a very long way
away at present, but I'm working on it.
Any assistance I get along the way is great, in the meantime I am
scratching my own itches.
I don't have a JAVA editor AFAIK so can not edit the .class or .java
files,
Any suggestions on a suitable program to use?
I use Eclipse. All my Java code committed to SVN have the necessary
eclipse config files (although they are not tested outside of my own
environment).
Hmm, I do have Eclipse, forgot I had it, no real time to learn it at
The moment. I didn't really want to set up projects within it at the
Moment, just wanted something that I can use to just edit a .class
Well you don't edit class files, you edit .java files. But I guess that
is what you meant.
For basic work like this I recommend JEdit. Even better, IMHO, is EMacs,
there is a gui version called XEmacs, but I don't have experience of it
(others would recomend Vi).
