Thread: Student Programs

I have a major Java project coming up. Since it has to be done over a few months period & on a reasonable scale am looking for links to student projects which I can use for reference. Can someone with the knowledge please provide me some links, it would be impossible to build these projects from scratch without something as reference. Would be really grateful for any form of help. The language for implementation is my choice but I really need resources else it woulde be too long winded.

I am looing for sample programs which either implement functionalities associated with banks, samples which deal with setting up mock election campaigns multi-party & samples which show how to perform bidding for an online auction. These r my preferred choices so depending on the resources available to me I will make a choice. To make that choice, I need any help anyone can provide.

Hmm, sounds like senior project. I'd recommend starting from scratch tho. It would be a personal measure of your designing skills. Bank related? Try something like an ATM system that has multiple clients talking to one server. Take into account the distributed system issue of resource management, for example lost updates, where if 2 people look at an account and see $200 in the account, then person 1 withdraws $50, and person 2 withdraws $10 at the same exact time, a lost update can make the balance $190 or $150 instead of the actual balance of $140.

It would be too risky to start from scratch without any sample codes as reference, after all v r just students & to implement such large projects @ least some online reference is required.
