Current Work
---

Current changes are being made on the **java7** branch. This is to mainly because of the EOL of java6 and the generification that happened between jdk6 and jdk7 requiring a difference in the source code. This class files are targeted at java6 and will run with all versions upwards.

<br>

_Notes:_

- Visual appearance of combo boxes using the GTK LaF is broken on JDKs < 1.7b30. This is a Java Swing problem.
- The generification added to some java7 swing components make the course code incompatible between java6 and java7. This is not an issue with the generated .class files because of _Type Erasure_ will work across all versions of java from java6 upwards.
