[sdiy] Need java midi programs

[Fredrik Carlqvist]

Hi all!

I need to make a simple java application with buttons to send and
receive sysex midi messages. The problem is that I'm not a java
programmer. I know almost nothing about java, except it sometimes looks
like C++, which i do know.

So I need a sample application I can copy from. Does anyone have a link
to an open source program or something like that? Or a pointer to a good
self-education site.

Also, can someone please enlighten me in what's the difference between
different types of java programs? Beans, applets etc.?


Thanks,
Fredrik C
