Thread: Looking for Java Project Ideas

I have been going through some of the Stack Overflow web pages and some other blogs to look for an idea to do my Java project which I have to submit by August 1st week. I found many of them either too simple or too big to complete in a month.

My Java course involves studying about Java collection frameworks, multi-threading, accessing websites via their URLs, making use of XML parsers, and few topics about reflection API, and Beans.

I don't necessarily want to do the projects that cover all of this, but I am looking to work on something that is not too simple or too complex to do. My course instructor said I can't submit any project on mobile programming or any selenium code testing projects.

I keep asking myself about other topics to work on, but I would really be glad to have your thoughts about it. So please let me know if you have any thoughts that can help me out.

A video game is always a good project since video games can include any topics and are somewhat intersting to do as well as scaleable to your time period.
Maybe a game where you update certain game data in real time by accessing a web-site with an additional networking thread.
