Some Java resources

[Paul Conte <pconte@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks!

I've enjoyed the discussions, and thought my own list of resources might be
helpful. Due to limited time, I usually hang out at the news400.com "Hot
Java" forum, but I'll post here when I can.

=================== 
Internet Newsgroups
=================== 

comp.lang.java.programmer 
comp.lang.java.beans
comp.lang.java.misc
comp.lang.java.softwaretools

-- These newsgroups have a pretty low signal-to-noise-ration.

ncc.hursley.ibm.com

-- This newsserver has a number of java newsgroups, including: ibmpub.java,
ibmpub.java.os400, and ibmpub.java.vajava. I find these much more focused
and useful than the comp.lang.java.* newsgroups.
