The code for the Java port of simpleBug from Objective can be found in
the Swarm sourceforge CVS.

You can view the code here:

 http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/swarm/jtutorial/

Instructions for anonymous CVS checkout of the code is here:

 http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1961

Petros, please consider contributing to this project rather than (yet
again) re-inventing the wheel.  The is actually not the first
attempted port of the simpleBug suite to Java, but it is the most
complete, and I'm willing to help maintain it.

Thanks,

Alex
