Re: Integrating Anthill with a Problem Report systyem?

Feel free to dig into it as you get comfortable with Java. As 
non-trivial apps go, what's going on in Anthill is relatively straight 
forward - especially for someone familar with the product. The only 
really weird thing is the use of pagelets instead of jsp.
