I will check it out, but my JAVA skills are kinda limited :).

Sure you can, but it was written under unix using the curses
library and here is a screenshot:
-- -- -1 -1 -1 -- -- ?----------------------------?
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- |7,5 woods |

default.map 1 X,Y: 14,6 Map: 7,5 Unit: 0 : 0
No fancy graphics, no mouse. The prupose was being able to
play battles via pbem. No quite what you expected perhaps?
:-)
I would probably recommend doing something using Java, that
way anybody with a PC or Mac can use the tool. What is it
that you are looking for? A tool for moving units on a
campaign map, drawing arrows and adding labels? If so then
you are probably in luck. I am working on an operational
map tool for a different game, but it could probably be used
by any campaign as well. If that's what you are looking for,
then you can have a look here:
