With the next version of MT4j coming out soon and even more features and classes to use,
the documentation of MT4j has been lacking behind.
This is why I decided to put some effort into extending the documentation during the last weeks.
The extisting tutorials have be reworked and most importantly - new tutorials have been added.

The new tutorials are:
>
=> Covers all the basic functions and features of components

>
=> Explains the coordinate systems used in MT4j and their use

>
=> Shows the possibilities and how to work with geometric shapes

With the basic topics covered by tutorials and the MT4j examples in place, it should be pretty easy for beginners to create their first MT4j application. Of course there are still many topics which havent been covered, yet.
We will try to fill these gaps in the documentation step by step.
As always, we are open for feedback. So if there is a special topic you want to have a tutorial for - Let us know!

First of all - I wanted to take the time to wish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Since the release of the first MT4j version in september '09 we have recieved a lot of valuable and often positive feedback and we encourage all MT4j users to do so in the future as well so we can make MT4j even better, faster and stronger. For giving feedback, theres always the official on the and the IRC chat channel on freenode where you can also get support.

In the coming year the work on MT4j continues - in fact, a new version will probably be released around mid January.
Expect lots of new features, bug fixes and cool examples!

Cheers!
