There are four kinds of mailing lists here. The first type of list is run manually. These are identified by a subscription address that looks like listname-request@somewhere.somedomain. To subscribe to one of these lists send a message to that address with some body text a human being can understand, e.g.
Please subscribe me to the Java games list. My email address is elharo@sunsite.unc.edu. Thanks.The other three common kinds of lists are run by automated mail-server software. A lot of UNIX machines run something called majordomo. To subscribe to a majordomo list you'll need to send email not to the list but rather to majordomo. For example to subscribe to java-mac@natural.com send mail to majordomo@natural.com with the message
subscribe java-macin the body. Your email address will be read from the message you sent.
Many IBM mainframes run LISTSERV. To subscribe to a LISTSERV list you need to send email to the listserver, not to the list. For example to subscribe to the jeeves-interest list, jeeves-interest@javasoft.com, send a message to LISTSERV@javasoft.com with the message
SUB jeeves-interest First_Name Last_Namein the first line of the body. Some UNIX boxes run a very similar piece of software called listproc. For purposes of subscribing to mailing lists there's no need to worry about the differences between LISTSERV and listproc.
Finally Macintoshes often run ListStar from StarNine. ListStar is a flexible rule-based mail processing system. This is a bug, not a feature. Almost every ListStar hosted mailing list uses a different subscription format. Some act like ListServ. Some act like majordomo. Others act like ListServ except they expect the commands in the Subject line. Others do something else entirely. In most cases the automated subscription form available here should work. If it doesn't, email the list's maintainer to ask for more detailed instructions.

BISS-AWT is a framework of Java classes for building graphical applications. Instead of following the "OS-native" look-and-feel (like Suns java.awt), it implements its own "Java-native" look-and-feel. The framework can be extended without native library support (i.e. you can write your specialized versions of TextFields, Checkboxes, Lists etc. without being forced to write your own, non-portable, native libraries). The BISS-AWT includes source code (both Java and for the optional native library) and is distributed under a GPL-like license.

This is an occasional series of newsletters in which I ramble on about various topics related to Java, the Internet, programming, genealogy, mathematics and whatever else crosses my mind. There's no particular periodicity to these missives. They arrive when I feel like sending them. This list is low-volume, one-way. There should be no more than one message a week (at most!) from this list. It is moderated and I am the only one who can post to it. I haven't settled on a definite format for these newsletters yet, but each one will probably include some brief comments, recent news about Java, perhaps some reader responses, and one major article about something that interests me.

Unite for Java, or unite for whatever this group eventually decides Java is. JavaLobby, still in the process of pulling itself together, is a loose amalgam of Java developers who seem to be severely divided about what exactly the group is or should be. This mailing list is supposed to be low-volume, announcements only, but the announcements are more than a little opinionated; and since the list is unmoderated this tends to produce sporadic bursts of high traffic, pleas to use the web forums instead notwithstanding.
If you're interested in this group, I recommend you subscribe to the mailing list and read the web forums to see what's going on, but don't formally join until you feel comfortable with the group. More than one member has complained because they found group leaders making statements in the name of JavaLobby and its members which they did not agree with (and in fact in some cases vehemently disagreed with).
