Yes I heart that Java is the basic language teached at universities
today. But my impression was that smart students do not really love that
language.

When you have some "love" for Java, maybe you can take a look at

http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/351306#new

One more completely ignored project. I guess only in German language,
but maybe you can manage to launch it. I was going to try it, but I
think I will not really have time before end of this year, and I never
used Java, I guess it is not installed on my Gentoo box currently.
