			As well as the Java code, I have started to play around with reimplementing the front end in SwiftUI (for mac and iPad) and also in Go lang mostly the back-end - but it turns out there are libraries which can support Cocoa apps on macOS. So I am experimenting with this.

			Separate repos for these experiments can be found here along with other experimental code:

		I have set up working repos in GitLab.com as follows:

		* https://gitlab.com/performiq/impact-java-orig (git@gitlab.com:performiq/impact/impact-java-orig.git) - a copy of the original code drop that Damian gave me
		* https://gitlab.com/performiq/impact-java-updated (git@gitlab.com:performiq/impact/impact-java-updated.git) - I have started to reorganisr and refactor the repo
		* https://gitlab.com/performiq/impact-java-rebooted (git@gitlab.com:performiq/impact/impact-java-rebooted.git) - A file by file rebuild of the repo

		Note: In the original code base classes and images were all mixed in with the source. Scripts and config files along with other stuff were dumped at the top level. I have started to structure the repo to separate these out. I am using Eclipse as an IDE for the Java variants.

		Repository Structure

		<pre>
		- src
		-- gui
		-- j3d
		...
		-- utils
		- classes (Java compiled class files)
		- bin Scripts (following the UNIX convention)
		- config Configuration files
		- data
		- doc. Markdown files
		- examples *.in and results examples
		- html HTML documentation - a copy of the Impact web site?
		- images Non source images
		- interfaces Gmsh and Impact.gid integration documentation
		- lib Libraries (JOGL, etc.)
		- resources
		-- images
		- trials A temp folder for storing intermediate results files in (is .ignored)

 I have been working with Damian McGuckin of PacificESI to see if it is feasible to resurrect the Impact finite element analysis package.  This is implemented in Java but depends on a very old Java OpenGL library JOGL v1.  JOGL was refactored a decade or so ago (into v2) to support new graphics technology such as GPU shaders.
