That's not something I've seen myself, but I can see some uses for it
already.

Again, not one that I've seen. Time to roll your own I think! :)

I believe Patrick may have done some Java bits'n'bobs, but I'm not
clear on this work precisely.

As for .NET (at last, something I *can* answer better!), there is very
definitely an SDK available that you can use... ;-) I've never
bothered with Java myself, but I do thoroughly enjoy using .NET for my
application development.

FWIW, both Edward Pearson and I learned .NET, C# and xAP as an
exercise, so you're in similar company straight away there I think.

I've found it to be a very entertaining hobby indeed - there are so
many things I want to do that I don't think I'll run out any time
soon.
