Java Bot Question

[projectbarcelona]

Hi I wrote a simple bot that runs however I am considering re-writing it in Java for performance reasons and have a few questions.

Here is the general look of the code right now:

class ProjectName
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      while (true)
      {
         //scrape screen
         //decide what actions to take
         //perform said actions
      }
   }
}

How do you guys manage starting/stopping a Java bot? Specifically there's essentially one large group of commands that need to run then you just repeat these commands. How are you breaking that chain?

Kind of a simplistic question but if I'm rewriting this bot I want to make sure I get this part right.

So.... You're jumping from VM language to VM language because you want performance increases? I'm confused.

Agreed. Very confused to hear someone say they are switching TO java for performance reasons o_O

But to stay on topic.. If you don't even know how to break out of a loop then you won't have much luck making a bot. Maybe you should learn the language first?
