Convert Java Applet to Eclipse Rich Client Platform
$100-500 USD
Pagato alla consegna
I have a java applet that implements a full function instant messaging (IM) client. The applet uses AWT and has a aesthetic style that is about 5 years old and is a major need of a refresh. I need 2 things - The major changes is that I would like the GUI of the applet redone using the controls and widgets available in the Eclipse RCP. This would convert the IM client into a stand alone application as well. It should then be started at System Start (Windows start), show status in the Systray, use local sound files and store options in persistent store etc. The other is that I want to be able to continue to run this program as an applet for those users who will not want to install a fat client on their machines. I expect that the RCP widgets can be used in applets as well. We will need an installer for the desk top version of the application and a packager for the applet. Note that this is a porting project - we are not asking for an IM client to be written from scratch. We have a working stable applet that needs to be ported. To get a sense of the work involved - take a look at any popular IM client (no audio or video - just text and html based messages) and the various GUI components they use and the different screens they have ( login, logout, message window, buddy list window, error windows, preferences screen, connectivity option screen etc) We can break the project into phases if you like - specify this in your bid. Developer Qualifications This is not a learning opportunity on Eclipse RCP - so please only bid if you have previous experience using that platforms. Please include some screen shots of work you have done. Knowledge of IM clients is not a pre-requisite but being an active use of any IM client is so you know what the different screens do. You will have to adequately document the code with Java docs.
