hi, Sorry guys, i have been looking at last years ideas list and Maksim u got it right, this years ideas list doesn't have the drag-n-drop project, my bad :(
i just skimmed through the requirements though, and it looks quite complex than the task i was reffering to that i carried out. i would love to learn some of the complex awt stuff available in java if i could have the guidance of a mentor, but if i am unable to find a mentor then it is gonna be quite tough to finish the due tasks within the given time frame ;'( please advice as to how i could get my self out of the soup !!! 2009/3/30 Alexei Fedotov <[email protected]> > Hello Shariq, > If you are interested in DND, please take a look at [1].
