There a couple of places in the current Java code that use methods or types which are officially "deprecated". It should be a small and straightforward task to see what the currently non-deprecated equivalents are, make the small changes to the Reprap sources to use them, compile and test.
This would be a really good way for a Java programmer to get started in the Reprap host code; these are small simple changes to make. I'm therefore *not* going to rush in and fix them up myself... I'm hoping there is someone out there reading this who can make a first small step into Reprap host development by doing this and posting a diff or two (or just the entire changed files, if you really want).
I am anything but a Java expert. Linux expert... maybe. Sysadmin expert... maybe. But not Java. If I can do this, others can too. Any volunteers? :-)
This is also in the Bug Tracker at [
sourceforge.net]
Thanks,
Jonathan
