How about you really blow their minds and tell them that Slava started
writing it when he was 14 years old (IIRC), and that he's currently only
18.

[ jEdit-users ] Printer for Java

[Todd O'Bryan <toddobryan@ma...>]

Sorry to ask this without RTFMing first, but is there something you 
have to do to get printing to work in Java?

I have a classroom lab of 24 dumb terminals (okay, they're ancient 
Compaq Deskpros) running off a single server with a PostScript printer 
connected to the server. Everything seems to print okay except jEdit, 
which says "No print service found" or some such thing.

I just wanted to find out if there's something simple and obvious 
before I invest time I don't have. (Gotta write three quizzes tonight, 
get a graphics-y intro to Object Orientation running and write a tester 
for the linked list classes my kids just wrote.)

TIA,
Todd

P.S. I'm using jEdit at a high school where I teach Intro to 
Programming using Java, Advanced Placement Computer Science using C++ 
(and increasingly Java as well...I find that the students are pretty 
good at keeping the two straight; they love operator overloading in C++ 
but Java's memory management also makes them very happy) and a special 
topics class where people are doing all kinds of stuff. All my kids 
*love* jEdit. Every time one of them discovers a new feature, it 
spreads around the room like wildfire, and they're all pretty psyched 
that one day they could write something like it. (I obviously haven't 
told them how long it would actually take...)
