[Bluej-discuss] Open Source

[Dr. George McMaster]

Thanks Steve
I agree.
BlueJ is wonderful as it is!!!!!!!!!!
Really grateful to have such a wonderful environment.
The price of the book is reasonable, and is a marvelous text written by
people who have actually written code
(extra bonus).
To the open source people ... start your own and get people to contribute.

Cheers

Geo

I would actually pay money for BlueJ, $10 is extremely cheap (~£4!).
But you forget it's used by hundreds of students, personally AND at
university. Bad idea.

Makes distribution with the book interesting too (which for a textbook
isn't actually the most expensive... especially considering I use it
tons more than my others). I agree it is quite expensive, but that's
textbooks.

Also... who "owns" BlueJ? Bruce, Michael etc.? University of Kent?
Deakin University? All five? Could be tricky...

Anyone else think the BlueJ distribution is ok as it is?

Steve
