Search for Java NNTP.

One possibility: <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/net/index.html>.

NNTP is a pretty simple protocol. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/nntp.html

You can do it by reading and writing lines of chars to a socket.

If you are thinking of writing a new newsreader see

If you are thinking of writing a spam program, consider that your ISP
will be blacklisted.

Depending on what you're doing, you may want to look at the GNU
ClasspathJ stuff for a JavaMail NNTP provider (taken originally from a
separate project; the name 'ice' comes to mind).

Why would anyone start a complete web suite, in Java or any other
language? It's a huge project. IMO it would be better to contribute to
an existing project like Mozilla. Then again, I don't want to keep
anyone from trying.

Start one. And come back in a few years showing us your code.

I've actually started something that I want to use for my dad's office that
would basically run a small set of programs in an MDI desktop. I actually
don't like the way java implements MDI because it seems hard to put a
regular JFrame into a JInternalFrame. Anyways, the reason why I'm doing it
this way is because I plan on running my application in linux without a
window manager and let the app run in full screen without borders. It will
basically turn the computer into one of those terminals that can only run
the programs that I specify. I currently have the program read settings from
an xml file that will define the menu (the available applications). If the
app ever matures enough to the point that I feel other people will be
interested, I will release it as open source or something.

For this app., I've actually started a simple ftp client based on the
jakarta commons net collection. I just wish there were more applications out
there that ran on JInternalFrames so that I can plug those in as well.

I've also been looking for a web browser that I can use (freely).
