JAVA programmer? (and Win-DomMap, and some GIMP)

Not to curb your enthusiasm but so far what we have managed to do is get the DomMap from Dominions 1 to work for Dom2. There is a wish-list for this program. Many things that could be upgraded. If we wander into two code-sets it will be hard to keep up. Your choice of course.

First, no one has yet come forward to volunteer for Source Forging. I would if I was familiar with the system. I've never used Source Forge.

Second, and more pointedly, if I apply "window-dressing" to the app, it will be a major (ie: almost complete) rewrite of the code, not just a recompile. This will render moot any source control between a Windows GUI Version and a linux console Version.

The ideal option, of course, is to do any GUI in Java, which, if done properly, will run on all platforms. Doing it in Java will take me longer as the code not only has to be translated from C, but I'm not as swift a Java coder as I am a C coder.

BTW, I haven't been doing this out of any interest I have in the app (I don't plan to use it myself), but just because a need for a Windows Version was expressed. So just point me in the direction you want me to go.

There are also other 3rd party program requests where window-dressing (pun intended) is what is being asked for.

Such as? Someone else is doing the game-save app, so I'm not going to parallel that effort. I haven't seen mention of any other projects in progress or desired. Please post a list of what's been asked for, and solicit volunteers ...
