Hello friends I''ve been thinking about how to design an application with java.

What I need : A tool/ application that can edit a HTML page, add/remove images, edit text,colors etc and generate a HTML document.

What My Question is ?
How can I develop it ..Is it that I should use only Applets or swings ??
Can I develop it using jsp's if possible ??

There is a wealth of design issue enthusiasts in Java, you will not be alone.

We will be workng at a lower level, Swing should be your place of starting in design contemplation.

Hi Nicholas.. Thank you very much for the reply.

I'm doing this as a small project but I hope my vision would be successfully moulded to be true.

I saw a tool - Amaya which is a WYWIWYG HTML editor all made with C.

After seeing it I was impressed and thought of making it with java.
But being novice to Java I could not find out a way for it. All I have is bits of knowledge on struts framework and very basic knowledge in java.

So I could not figure out how I can achieve this.

Will you please guide me on my further steps..

You have a decision point here that I cannot provide clear, detailed and deep advice except that Java to C / C++ translation and back is made convienent by an intentional similarity. Use Java as a wrapper for the C / C++ code, but do not get stuck. You will not achieve enough in the short term to be effective at cross-translation, make c and cpp ( C / C++ ) a secondary study. Make Java your priortiy.

This is how it works:

Putting a Java Interface on your C, C++, or Fortran Code
