Hi, I'm looking to create a simple chess program in Java, in order to learn
the language.  Trouble is I have no idea where to start.  I know that Java
uses classes, but I have very little/no experience of Java and very little
of C++.  I will be using JBuilder 2 to program with, unless anybody can
direct me to a freeware copy of JBuilder 3 or later(I know it was available
on a magazine cover over here in the UK, but not sure how to get hold of it
now).  Is there perhaps a legitimate place to download it from?  I admit I
have not yet checked Borland's website, so that will be my next step after
posting this.  Basically I was hoping for some pointers, hints and
suggestions if anybody has any?

Kind Regards,
Andrew Griffin.
