Okay I have got to build a program that will be able to draw gates to the
screen (such as AND, OR, NOT etc) and flip flips, sources etc, pretty basic
stuff. Also pins must be recorded on the canvas as the gates should be able
to be connected.

I've been hard pressed to find a tutorial that deals with anything past the
very basics of 2DGraphics in java, like drawing to screeen and so forth..

What I need to be able to do is draw to screen, but then later have the user
able to select any gate and move it around. I kind of know how to do the
moving with a update() or paint() method that is called by a mouse movement,
but how do I make each shape (I'm using GeneralPath as the shape for a
certain gate) a seperate 'object' that is able to be selected at will?

Any help on the forum, email or pointers to websites would be great.. I've
sifted the sun site, used the books I've bought and nothing seems to go into
any great detail on this.

Thanks very much
Aaron Todd
