Initial Comment:
Feature Request received from Charles Lin:



   The DrJava documentation seems to be rather minimal.

 Is there any initiative set to extending the

documentation.



   In particular, I think it's missing the following:

     -- a list of editor commands

     -- a description of how to handle "projects" (how

to                  

        manage different projects)

     -- showing the development of a very simple Java

program

       * initially, Hello World

       * then something that requires two or more

files, using 

         interfaces

       * a more extensive discussion of what javadoc is

and how

         to use it

     -- what features are missing (if you use Visual

C++ or 

        some other IDE)

      

    Having an example and showing how students should

develop code should, I would think, be a high priority.

  The documentation I found with DrJava is about 14

pages, and is about the minimum to do anything, but I

would think something closer to 40-50 pages would be

better, with several "code along with us" chapters to

get someone up to speed.
