Motif and Linux.

[eric at uxeric.compgen.com (Eric)]

Just curious, but how did you learn Java?  I was reading all the docs I
could find this weekend.  Most of the tutorial pages are links to the
elusive document "MissingPage.html". This includes the whole chapter on
how to use the awt (Abstract Window Toolkit) class.  I'm really looking
forward to learning it, but I haven't seen any 'real' applications (with
or without source code) written in Java for examples.  That, and my X
server on a regular basis when running Java enabled Netscape on my Linux
box at home.   I was frustrated because the sample Spreadsheet
application I wanted to model my application after didn't seem to work
under Java Linux.
