    Which group(s)?

    Hey All!

    I've looked through all of the *.java*.* groups on my news server and am
    having a little trouble deciding where I should post questions that I may
    have regarding a project that I am starting to work on.

    Project Synopsis: This project will end up crossing multiple technologies
    within Java when it is complete. The application will have a stand-alone
    GUI, Web GUI, servlets, applets, and database features, among others as
    the need crops up. The program will be connecting to my server upon
    start-up to check for updates. It will also allow users of it to connect
    to their version via web pages. It will have a command-line interface to
    do pretty much everything that can be done in the GUI. Finally, all of
    these methods of using the program will have a MySQL or PostGRE SQL server
    on the backend.

    As you can see from the Synopsis of my project, I may need to ask
    questions that will actually apply to many, many discussion groups. As I
    don't want to offend any group's readers, I was wondering where the best
    place to post any questions that may come up. Any help that you all can
    give me with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in
    answering this (most likely) stupid question. Have a fantastic day!

    Cheers,

    Sean

    Hey All! Me again...

    Just wanted to say that if I have a question on a particular technology
    (i.e., GUI, database, applet, servlet, etc.) that doesn't involve
    connection with any other technology, I know where to post that question.
    What I'm needing to now is if the question involves something that is
    crossing technological lines, how and where should I post that question?
    Thanks again and sorry for the confusion.

    Cheers,

    Sean

      Generally speaking, don't do that. Instead ask specific questions about
      some aspect you're interested in, and it will usually be clear which group
      that particular question is appropriate to.

      Picking one group ahead of time for all possible questions is likely not to
      give you results you want.
