I am quite interested in learning Java, and coding with plugins. I do have some knowledge about Java, but it is very very basic. I dont know how much of I help I will be, but I would love to be part of this if possible. Also for Java I suggest using Eclipse as that is the program I use to code Java with.
P.S. I also have a friend who has a vast understanding of C++, he is really good at coding. Ill see what I can do to get him on this project too.
