Thanks to all for your responses. I will try to whip the application into shape and release it, posting a link here.
With regards to everyone's questions about stability... I have never had a problem with the Java app (original or our modified version).
We
did have problems with last year's FIRST-provided app, but the app that I intend to release is not based on that. It is based on CMU's version, which has never given us problems.
If anyone has specific problems with the CMU Java app (from here:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~cmucam/) I'd like to hear the details. I'll try to reproduce the problem and offer a fix.
