Java Community

I have a vexing issue with Java/Processing.org threads and am looking for a Java community to turn to for help. When I was a Perl devotee Perlmonks was invaluable. What's the java (and, importantly, processing.org tolerant) equivalent?

In general I now ask questions like this on StackOverflow. But that's not a specific community. I believe these Processing forums would get you the help you need.

I took a look at your problem and I think you need Processing-specific help, it looks like the issue is the way Processing does its main event loop. There's probably some standard idiom in Processing for doing what you're doing, you may even find a tutorial example. One extra tip: you probably want to add the "-u" flag to Python to prevent it from buffering its output. That shouldn't really solve the underlying Java thread problem, but it can't hurt.

Response by poster: Ah, nevermind, it turned out I wasn't flushing python's output buffer!
