    Would be easier to do in java then in c. I did one in c last year wasn't too difficult but a pain to get into at first.

    TBH, if you have a rather limited timeframe I'd say Java as you're already more familiar with the language; and there are lots of examples to review (From the barebones [which IIRC is a Java (Swing?) tutorial..or at least, a tutorial with JBuilder..sorry; it's been a while] to the more mature projects such as jEdit [approx. 7years old, and - GNU http://www.jedit.org/] )

    You asked for references..so, I'm guessing.. college project?:)
    What sort of timeframe do you have?
    What functionality have you determined as necessary?
    Who is the intended user?
