Ok so...
Re: going to the FIRST forums... I'll see if I can post something there for other people to use--it feels like their forums are little less open than Chief Delphi and they really don't have a section for this yet, but I'll figure it out.
Oh, and FYI: None of the FRC stuff I have posted is available as yet anywhere else. Squawk VM has its own, SunSPOT focused, documentation at SPOTWorld...but WPILib has none.
Additionally, I have posted first bits of sample code found in the latest code base, which is in fact the code used at the 2009 Java Demos. It demonstrates basic robot operation as well as some interesting work with camera tracking as well as solenoids. I'll post my own analysis on it along with Templates shortly after.

Note that if anyone does download this source code, it IS under a special BSD-derived License that MUST be downloaded along with it. Its one more mouse click that keeps us all legal. Thanks.
Finally,
I'm actually glad people are thinking a bit about the legal status of the stuff I'm posting--it goes to show a bit the strong character of FRC competitors. As a professional developer I myself am under NDAs for various projects, and I am familiar with these sorts of arrangements. Fortunately I think I'm in the clear here. A correction however..I state above that the code is under the GPL...While Squawk is under the GPL, WPILibJ is in fact under the BSD license, which is MORE permissive than the GPL.
