Great article, Jonathan! That's exactly what I need to get started.
Your point about garbage collection (esp. lack thereof)
reminded me of a question I have for everyone:
Since LeJOS doesn't currently implement garbage collection, it seems
there are 2 very different directions one could go from here. One
would be to implement garbage collection in some fashion, and the
other would be to implement a c-esque "free()" so that it could be done
manually.
I realize the second suggestions probably runs counter to many folks'
java sensibilities. However, as I understand it the biggest obstacle
to implementation of Java in real-time (ie, robotics) systems is
garbage collection and the unpredictability that it adds to a running
system. Since it's not presently a "problem" in LeJOS, might a free()
in the .rcx package be useful?
