Thanks for the additional insight into JUMP's code base Larry. That will be very helpful.
I must say I'm not a big fan of inner classes up to this point. They seem very confusing. However, my opinion of them may change after I do some more reading about them. I'd think I'd rather have the extra class files and code that is easier to understand. That is especially important for an open source project. But then again, Jon's a sharp guy. Who am I to question his Java wisdom? :] Thanks Again, The Sunburned Surveyor On 8/30/06, Larry Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > JUMP makes constant use of inner classes, particularly anonymous ones.
