Re: Nested classes in simpleExperBug?

[Paul Johnson]

Parameter management and passing parameters in Java was very hard to 
translate.  In the swarm archive, you should be able to find a long 
series of emails from me, Marcus, and Sven about it, which culminated in 
Sven's manifesto on parameters. It is all documented:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/SwarmOnlineFaq.html#7.7

I recall thinking that some of the approaches I suggested in 
swarm-support were easier, but gave up caring after I got tired/sick of 
Java.

I wonder if you are working together with the previous team that was 
working on a Java tutorial for swarm in the bugs line. I recall that 
code is in CVS on the Savannah site.
