Java IRC Channel? (original) (raw)

? ?

LiveJournal

Google will yield plenty of results if you're looking for a Java implementation of an IRC server, client, bot framework, or something to that effect, but I found it lacking in the way of references to IRC channels where Java programmers can congregate and discuss their ideas and questions with each other.

I've been on EFNet and have found #java to be somewhat helpful but lacking in atmosphere (people there tend to have a "why should I help you" attitude) and #javahelp more or less void of active users. If no one has a suggestion for a better place, I'd like to start a channel called #javageeks on EFNet.

I've already got a "whatis" type of bot based on the PircBot framework built and lurking in the channel. It uses the MySQL database server and the JDBC driver for it, and though the database doesn't contain much yet, I hope that the users will help me build on what little I have already.

Thoughts?

I'm following this tutorial on the netbeans website for a simpleEE7App. I followed the instructions precisely but got an exception need help. :/…

anyone here?

It seems that you can override a concrete method and make it abstract. I actually came across some code that did this, so I had to check how it…
