Java Applet Request for some help

[RobinVossen]

Well, I almost got everything done now.
But I need to make a Java Applet.
And I have never (really) coded into Java. I did take a look there once. Remember I didnt like it. And that was almost 3 years ago now.
So I cant remember that.. very well.
But I have to make some kind of 'File Manager' that works over the Inet.
I have to make this Applet (or if it can be done in another language thats not a problem but I think only Java has this power)
that has to power to Download/Upload files in a file manager kind of way
so the left side has to be the Contense of /home/USER and the right side should be the System of the Client. The user should be able to Select a couple of files at the same time and then 'Drag-Drop' to the Server or Client to Transfer the files.
It should not have 'confusing' functions for users.. (like chmod or something)
It should be REALLY easy..

But, well my problem is.
I have nearly none CSS, Java, JavaScript, Pyton, Action-Script knowledge.
I have some PHP, Perl knowledge.
I have lots of C++ knowledge.

Is there a chance that I can make this within a couple of weeks? Lets say I work on this for 3 Full Work weeks (About 125 Hours)?
Or is this to advanced?
Does anyone have Documents Id like to read?
I guess Ill have to read something about basic Java.
and one about uploading and downloading files with Java.
Something about reading Directory contents of the Client.
And something about Drag-Drop in Java.

Is there a chance that I can do that in 125Hours?
Since if id start on it. And it wont be done by then Id get into big problems.
But if Id say that I cant do that. Well then the problem is over and I have to find another way to do this..

thanks already,

Cheers,
Robin


ps. Is there maybe a OpenSource project going about this?

[raj.aprilfool]

check for netbeans it is a good IDE.. also sun java creator....
but i'm not sure about what u want do... i mean i guess it may arise some security policy issues... better check some notes on applet security policy...

[RobinVossen]

I dont need a IDE I am not scared about security.
I just wonder how to make such a tool in the easyest way..

But thanks anyhow

[raj.aprilfool]

by security i mean java's security policy.... i had issuses when i tried to fetch mails from applet and the mail server was situated on the location other than the web server.... anyways... i'm not in touch with java for long time... but i remember i used a file upload bean from apache.org...
Home - FileUpload
but the only problem with it... that it i done using servlet

[RobinVossen]

Thanks for that Document..
I wonder. what is a servlet? is it the same as a Applet?
I know Applet are Insecure.. I know that ^^ I can decompile them and everything (Like that is hard...)
So I have to find a way to make this all work. and 'secure' I might just do it in C++/CGI

Thanks anyhow

Cheers,
Robin
