MegaDrum Manager

I'm happy to work/help on this, but there need to be some consensus on which path to follow, and if it could be done at all using a wrapper.
Dmitri should comment on this, as he is the guy that knows JAVA inside out and if it could communicate through HTML/CSS, or something else perhaps.

With right libraries (ready available or written from scratch) Java can communicate through anything, including HTML/CSS.
You can take MDM source, throw all GUI stuff from it, and add needed libraries and wrapper on top of it. Or you could use MDM source just as a reference to develop everything from scratch.

Count me in, and quite happy to learn something new.

Good to know airflamesred.. Question is now how, where and with what to begin.
Any ideas?

[dmitri]

I'll update the source code to the latest version later tonight.

Absolutely none, my friend.

Instead, I pushed MegaDrum repository to github.
You can clone it from https://github.com/kajuk/MegaDrumManager.git

Right... I downloaded and installed Eclipse, but I really do not see any Interface Builder or something anywhere. It seems to be all in the code, which does make it pretty essential to get knowledge of Java-programming.
Doesn't Java has some kind of graphical Interface builder or something? (I downloaded Window Builder, which wasn't what I needed at all). Do you really literally program the UI for MDM, or am I missing some things here?

[dmitri]

I did graphical UI in Eclipese with WindowBuilder.

Then how could one open up the GUI there, without messing with the rest of the source code?
