I am looking for a excellent and fast developer to convert my existing Java program using (1.3.1) to the newest version of Java. The program uses Graphics and database routines. Review web site http://www.uprealimager.com For those developers interested in a small conversion project please reply for additional details. You can also email me directly at mike @ cnerd.com.

Just a quick note: you'll want to define your goals a lot better than this. If you mean that you want your application to run on the newest version of Java, then in all likelihood it already does. If not, there's probably not a lot of effort at all (measured in hours, maybe days) involved in making it run there. However, if you mean that you'd like your application to take full advantage of the features of new versions of Java, then that could amount to immense amounts of work, especially if you want to retrofit all your source code with assertions and the like! Good luck finding someone who can do this for you. Just watch out for defining what you want before you put someone in the position of having to deliver it.  Signaturewww.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone... Anywhere. Chris Smith - Lead Software Developer/Technical Trainer MindIQ Corporation Thanks for the Tip! Your first issue is correct. I only wish to move to 1.4 because I have found since Micrsoft has all of these updates 1.3.1 breaks on some XP machines. But I have been told from SUN that 1.4 fixes this problem. And I am guessing that if I convert to 1.4 it should resolve the open problems.

IIRC, major changes in 1.4 that would impact a 1.3.1 program included the focus model in Swing, and some class library retooling. Using the new features, like nio, logging, and assertions is a bit bigger. Oh, let me second Chris' point about specification. Speaking as a consultant, I much prefer a detailed spec for what a client wants. It makes it a lot easier to measure progress, and to make sure that the final deliverable meets your needs. Lacking that, we end up with many iterations over needs, which can get very expensive. Scott scott@alodar.com Java, Cocoa, WebObjects, and Database Consulting > Have you tried running it under 1.4?

I'm still dealing with code that broke when GlyphVector was redefined for no apparent good reason. (Skewing the topic a little, if anyone else has pet 1.4 issues, this is as good a place as any to air them. We can change the thread title. :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Weiner FM Software 610-997-3930 http://www.fmsware.com >Thanks for the Tip!

When I looked over your page, I wasn't even sure, if you talk about client side programming or a Servlet? Looks like you use both sides in our app, or did I miss something?

Go to <http://www.java.com/> and click on "manual download" in the big, green "free download" box on the right. Download the "windows offline" installation and read the installation instructions. You'll have 1.4 in IE before you know it. SignatureForte International, P.O.
