Java version of XPilot



Since nothing else is going on here, I thought I would give a status report
on my rewrite.
I am 2/3 of the way through the files in the common directory.  The only big
ones left are net.*.  I haven't tackled shipshape.c yet either, but I
finished it last time I started this (Oct 2000) so I will just need to port
any changes.
I am not tackling server until the client is done, but I am making some
progress in the client folder.  I have a working About window with all of
the different pages (organized a bit differently) and the MetaServer stuff
is working for the list and I am almost done with pinging.

On a more technical note, I am using 1.4.2 with the Generics EA compiler
from Sun so that I can use this to learn generics, enum's, varargs, etc. for
Java.  I am using Netbeans for my IDE as I am more familiar with it and it
helps me slap together the first drafts of the windows (which I later tweak
by hand).  When I refactor things, I switch to Eclipse.  Right now it needs
a lot of refactoring, but I am concentrating on getting the client working
first, and then I will go back and work on cleaning up the code.

If you have any questions or comments or complaints or want a snapshot of
the code, let me know.

Mark
