If you want to really get a java workout, check out Open Wonderland.
It's a 3D environment, complete with telephony, avatars and every other
java toolkit laden feature. Shoot, it's way past me and the email list
is plagued with top-posting. But, I have it running and the people doing
the devel stuff stay on the list at all times. It's fun and 100% nothing
but java. Me, I just watch all of the rolling commentary on the code
development. http://www.openwonderland.org

top-post like maniacs, always. Ric
