Well I had the same type of thought to version the metadata of MLS, but Ross some time ago didn’t think there would be a need for that and since he was managing the database I dropped it. So I was left feeling he will handle all the changes needed in the DB. I still contend I need know the headers and map them appropriately, as the app could handle massaging the data to allow it to keep working, perhaps just won’t have whatever data is new.
I have built the converter with Stake files in mind and multiple languages. I have some clean up for some of the popup messages to not be hard coded, but to come from the resource file to be more ready, but that shouldn’t be a lot of rework. The whole app probably needs to be reworked to follow java conventions, as the package name does not follow those I have seen (what can you expect for my first Java app J).
I can’t believe I have had such a hard time trying to find out how to set the image in the top left corner and thinking that is the same for the taskbar in Windows. The default Java icon is not the best for an app. You familiar with SWING at all as to how to accomplish it? I have grown a real appreciation for the Visual Studio tools I use on a daily basis. I guess I am just not looking in the right place to find the answers I need. I find blurbs here and there, but then it is something else not what netbeans used for their base app which is a FrameView.
