[FreeCiv-Java] Re: scrollable map component & painting units, goto-lines etc

hehe, I think I like the third option best :)

I'd probably categorize it as "up". Insofar as you can run the client, connect to the server and scroll about on the map. However, the major drawback is that moving stuff about isn't possible yet (although a collegue of mine is working on this right now and should hopefully be giving me some code in the next few days.). You can also connect to a game in progress (hence revealing more interesting parts of the map support, including cities etc.)

About the thread below: the overlay code I spoke about below is now checked into CVS; city names are now appearing, and units are ready to be animated (as I say, just waiting for Dom's changes to see this in action...)

See the screenshots on http://www.dubh.org/projects/jfreeciv to get an idea of what's complete... I update them fairly regularly as new functionality is added.
