You mean Java, not JavaScript. There's a BIG difference. That being said, I can't actually think of anyone on this forum who knows Java (I could be wrong), so chances are you're not going to get that programmer here (which is weird, because Java is a popular language). Sorry

That being said, you seem articulate and honest, so I'm willing to help you out.

A programmer that can actually write the whole game probably won't usually help you out unless:

A] They have massive creative and possibly administrative control over the project (and this won't even cut it for most)
B] You're their best friend
C] You pay them.

Chances are, you're not willing to give up adminship, because then it essentially becomes their project, and you work for them instead of the other way around. You wouldn't be asking if B] was true, and I'm guessing you don't have a whole lot of capital.

So, pretty much your only option is to hope for a programmer to stroll along and help you guys out (unlikely ), OR you can become a programmer yourself.

If you want to learn Java yourself, I can point you in the direction of the Java tutorials online, if you want to learn the language yourself. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/

Be advised though, that learning a real programming language language is like learning an actual language, it takes a lot of time, and a lot of practice.

Sorry I don't have better news to give you.
