I'm extremely glad that this thread was posted, because I had been informed that support for Java was already available and I was going to proceed on that assumption.

I guess my question at this point is... when will it be available for sure? Is there some guarantee that a working version will be available even for ship date? Or say, two weeks into build? If not, I think teams that are interested in Java may have to look elsewhere this year, because you need to *know* that you can program the robot when build season starts.

On a side note (and I'm sure this information is available somewhere), what does the process look like for loading Java code onto the bot? In other words, does it go from a specific IDE designed for this? Or can I just write the code in a text editor?
