宠物 java,Java中的宠物项目创意

I'm looking for a pet project idea in Java.

I'm a Software Engineering undergraduate finishing my 3rd year. I have also been working for the past 1.5-2 years programming in C++, and I get enough of that at work.

I recently learned Java and I like it very much. Already done some project assignments and some really small console applications, but I'm looking for something to invest my time in.

I would like a project that is complex enough to "brag about" (have it open sourced and get people interested, added to resume) and learn while doing it, but also simple enough to be able to at least have a working version in a few months.

I know the most common advice is something that I need, but I admit I simply couldn't think of anything like that.

Any ideas?

Edit: To narrow it down: It would be nice to create a library of some sort or some other software development related program. An Eclipse plug-in that does something is also an option (though I don't have an idea what and how to do it - it would be in Java, right?).

Is there anything YOU would like to have that I can make for you?

The best and quickest way to have

is to find an existing open source project, preferrably one that you currently use and enjoy, and start submitting patches. As a bonus, you'll learn about remote collaboration in development.
