Where is the Java?!?

[Tom Line]

Having Java released early to the teams would be a nice luxury. There is a discussion on this topic going on in the Beta community. They are trying to gage how most of the Beta testers feel about the current state of the Java code.

Obviously, releasing Java while there are still multiple problems would be very unproductive. However FIRST and the Beta test teams have been working diligently to get it ready for 'prime time'.

Out of curiosity, can you please point me to the FIRST official that said Java would definitely be released ahead of time? Most of the people working in the Beta test have been very careful to frame everything in terms of "probably" and "hopefully", and I'm curious where it was stated it would definitely be released in November.

That said, there has not been any hard-and-fast date discussed in the beta. They are simply trying to get it ready as quickly as possible.
