I am thinking of a personal project to add to my CV
DESKTOP FILE MANAGER (windows)
I don't know which technology to use, which classes to use .
Which to use among Swing or JavaFX. Gone through this thread and got confused, now in 2016 what should I learn , Swing or JavaFX. I know just some basics of swing .
could someone please give me any good idea that how could I make this project

Thank you

If you intend this to boost your CV, I don't know how helpful desktop apps would be. A web app or web service or mobile app might do more good, since Java desktop apps are rare these days.

Hey Tim
So, what java project could be better to boost my CV. please consider I am a fresher.

For FILE MANAGER, CV is not only the reason, actually the intention is to know the java IO NIO and other topics in depth.

I generally advise people to work on the projects they're interested in, the better to sustain involvement. So: is there anything you have long wanted to automate in your daily work/life?

Yes, I always wanted to automate the goodmorning and good night replies of my gf's messages . Actually our gm/gn wishes are little long
I want to automate the job alerts from a list of companies, from their career forum.
some more are there, gone out of my head right now

Can I complete all these stuffs using java ? This is the main doubt in my head. I always thought that we can code these plugins in javaScript only ?
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
