end-user alpha release

[Marcello Bastéa-Forte]

My hope is to finish putting together the JTablet 2 end-user alpha release with Mac and Windows installers this weekend. 

I'm thinking of putting a popup message when JTablet is first loaded with something along the lines of:

Loading JTablet 1.2.0-alpha...

This is an *EXPERIMENTAL* alpha release that may crash! Please use at your own risk! 

Visit our website for new releases and to report problems: http://jtablet.cellosoft.com/

[ OK ]

Any opinions? 

Few things left to do:

1. Look into the mouse listener support on the WinTab version 
2. Do some additional testing of the Windows version, installer, and uninstaller
3. Get a 64-bit windows build (may punt on this for the first alpha release)
4. Make download page
5. Make demo applet page
6. Make installation successful page

This is the (alpha) build for JTablet2 right? I want to tell my users to download jtablet2, and not the latest version of 1. If you end up using version 1.2.0, can you put the distinction between jtablet1 and jtablet2 on the download page?

Currently I have:

0.9.x as the legacy version (ALWAYS has been a beta release, there never was a "1.0")

1.2.x as the alpha "experimental" versions of JTablet 2

1.9.x as beta/release candidate of JTablet 2

2.0.0 as the first official stable release of JTablet 2

2.0.x patch releases

2.1.x new feature releases

The reason I'm doing this is I want the API to be changeable between now and 2.0, and I don't want a huge circulation of alpha users (this is another reason to have the popup message).

Alternatively, I could use 1.9.x as the alpha/beta versions leading up to 2.0... what do you all think?
