I have lots of good ideas for large Java projects, having discarded most of them myself Wink But its important to know where you are with Java. How much experience do you have with programming in general, and Java/Swing in particular?

Create a text editor.

Once you have the basic, give your text editor features like:

  • "Find" - try to follow the Firefox model with a search bar that doesn't overlap the document itself.
  • Formatting: alignment, font size, color, bold/italic/underline...
