I am currently teaching myself to program in java and so I've decided to write a small applet called JExplore. The idea is to create a Windows Explorer-like tool that can be used on any platform. As I make changes I'll publish them here and have a small change log. You are welcome to examine my source code if you wish and provide feedback. Anything helps a novice Java programmer!
Note that given my dedication, this project could take quite a while! I only get to this when I have time and I'll be travelling soon it'll really suffer. But, I'll do what I can and we'll see how things go.
Some words on my development environment. I'm working on RedHat Linux 5.2 running jdk1.1.7 which I downloaded from www.blackdown.org (thanks, guys). I'm not using any development environment yet short of kwrite - an excellent editor that comes with KDE that colours reserved words, string literals etc for java as well as C, C++ and other languages.
