     You are putting the cart before the horse.

     THE WHOLE POINT of this exercise was experimentation to test the
speed of the lookup.  Until I got the code I was asking about running,
of course, I would not know.

     My phrase "not so much help" does not refer to this newsgroup.
You can find texts and Websites on starting with Java.  There is also

of that sour spot.
