Complete Idiot's Guide To Jython for Noob Dummies

It's been a long time since I have jython'ed.  Here's a tip...

you can't concatenate an integer and a string.  Make sense, but it's a pain for someone that's used to doing a lot of perl/shell type scripting.

cntr=1
print "counter is " +cntr

cntr=1
print "counter is " +cntr.toString()
