By next spring?  I'm hoping to have this download by next *week* (ok,
two weeks...)

This is great news! Now if only I could get it to work on my Mac.... :)

We'll definitely have this for them.  I'm hoping by next spring, we'll
be far enough along you can ask your students to just *do* their project
on Harmony :)

That would be great! However having felt the pain the students experience trying to work around bugs in RI, which is a mature project, I don't think I will force them to use a 2 year old project. However, if Harmony is mature enough I will be happy to suggest it as an alternative.

BTW, what license are these programs under?  I'd like to have a few
graphical demos in our JDK just like Sun does :) and it would be cool to use some of these if those students are interested in contributing them, are able to contributing them and even interested in participating here...

<self_ad type="shameless">
The game my group made (3-4 years ago) is available here: [1] as web start or here [2] if you don't like web start. I don't think it would be any problems getting the other group members to relicense it under an Apache License.
</self_ad>

We don't force any license on the students, usually it isn't licensed in any way at all. It's just protected by copyright by default. Very similar to Dutch or German laws if anyone are familiar with those. And my guess is that almost all of them would be willing to relicense if that would get them into Harmony. I don't know if the university holds any copyright, but they have been very easy to deal with in the past, being the cradle of companies like Trolltech (QT/KDE), Fast Search and some more locally known ones.
