@nikola1402 Try googling Guidewire and see for yourself how slim the pickings are. It's mostly an engine for configuring business rules, and it doesn't use java, it uses Gosu, which is like Java with the serial numbers filed off

@awizardskull wow, that's a shitty position to be in. Good luck with it

First.....Welcome to devrant! And second. Its indeed a weird position. Someone mentioned Gosu earlier today and I had no clue that language even existed. The bad thing about JVM languages is that they all kinda sorta require you to be efficient already with Java to understand them completely so I know how you might be feeling. Best of luck man!!
I'm a junior dev working with some very proprietary applications. The point is, I can't Google for code solutions at all.
The seniors are all very put upon and too busy to offer much actual help unless it's urgent.
I beg for assistance until I'm blue in the face and eventually stumble my way to something resembling the solution.
I get one of them to review my code, and while they do I point out all the places I STILL need help.
They don't answer any of those questions but damned if they don't have opinions on how my comments should be formatted.
Aaauuuuggghhhh
