I thought you <b>already knew everything</b> about Java, and that Java was used to get things up quickly. Go figure, Keith needs to learn too! ;) As far as things being "kicked to the side", you are MORE than welcome to participate and contribute your ass off, as you always do.

It may have seemed so to you (you've always maintained the language takes too many lines of code to get things done), but for me, it was also a learning experience into parts of the Java world of which I had little first hand knowledge. That being said, this is really, really cool! It cleans up the 'bad' code that's in place and make it much cleaner and easier to maintain. I look forward to the changes coming in the future, even if it means having my code contributions getting thrown to the curb, er, I mean replaced! ;-P As the other person who maintained this software I must, however, disagree that Java was used as a convenience.
