[log4perl-devel] OT: friendly Java mailing list/ forum?

[David C. <dpc...@ho...>]

log4perl-devel:

I'm attempting to learn Java using jdk1.7.0_17 on Debian 6.0.7 and have 
found the Oracle Discussion Forums to be less than helpful:

     https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=285

Since log4perl is based on a Java concept, can anybody recommend a 
friendly mailing list or forum for experienced programmers learning Java 
using command-line tools, not an IDE?

TIA,

David
