Excellent! I'm just about to start using BlueJ as the initial Java teaching environment in Cambridge, with my new course coming on stream in February. I look forward to seeing my students' performance skyrocket! (Although sadly, BlueJ is not quite as powerful as Emacs as a resource for professionals - and I don't want it to be. Emacs has been the introductory teaching editor for the last few years, and I'm changing to BlueJ partly because I believe the complexities of learning Emacs distract the kids from the Java course content) [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > Personally I don't like BlueJ (but it's better than vi, though so is > entering the text on handsiwtches in hex at the console).
