Thanks!! Turns out we are the only team around that is doing Java. This is a great help. Especcially since we are a rookie team.

Has the beta language officially been released? I ask because our team volunteered to do a seminar on Java at our kickoff, and we thought it would be nice to do a live programming demo of the most recent software.

Re: Java Programming BETA Webinar - TODAY
 

They won't be released until kickoff. More then likely, it will include more stuff related to the game then was included in the beta test (like the line tracking demo last year).

Any classes or functions that have been deprecated?

Re: Java Programming BETA Webinar - TODAY
 

Our Java code from 2011 compiles fine under the new libraries, so none of the WPILib classes or methods we used disappeared. However there are some minor changes to the numbering of the slots in the cRIO to account for the new 4-slot version. I think this was the only major change in existing WPILib classes and methods that we noticed.

Re: Java Programming BETA Webinar - TODAY
 

I noticed the SmartDashboard changed from all log() methods to putInt(), putDouble(), putBoolean(), ect.

however I went ahead and make my own post() methods to handle this in my DashBoard class.

Re: Java Programming BETA Webinar - TODAY
 

The older log entry points should still be available in smart dashboard. Did you not find them?

They have been Deprecated. They are still there, but they are also still Deprecated.
