OK George,

As I wrote we are trying to find a way to teach programming in the way I was
used with Delphi.
I have found a lot of programs written in Delphi for technical purposes, but
sofar I could only find some
simple programs in Java.
My biggest problem is my lack of knowledge of Java, so the most simple
things cost me a lot of effort.
F.i. it took me two hours to find out how to show a messagebox in a program
written with netbeans !
I am still trying to find out how to do drawing in netbeans.
I try to find an example of a Panel and a Button. when you click the button
something has to be drawn (a rectangle or triangle) on the canvas of the
Panel. I don't know how I must do that !

It should help if I had some example programs made with netbeans. Sofar I
could only find the 5 examples in the package. Where can I find them ?

I have done a lot of programming for educational purposes. See my homesite:
