I'm currently preparing for the SCJP, which I plan to take in 6 months time. I was wondering weather you could give me any Java Project Ideas which ONLY involves Java (NOT JEE), which includes manipulating Object or includes certain concepts which'd appear in the SCJP Exam, to further strengthen my understanding of basic Java. Better be specific with the Project Idea, as to with what Objects do I need to perform the given Objectives.

I would suggest buying a SCJP book like Head First Java and doing lots of small programs as you read through it rather than one large one that covers everything.

I'm somewhat an intermediate level when it comes to Java coding. I already know quite a bit about Servlets as well as the JDBC API in addition to a few more APIs. And yes, I in fact taught myself Java with the Head First Java book. I was asking this question because, there is a HUGE difference between what I code in real life and what I'm required to answer in the SCJP. So I want certain project Ideas which reinforce concepts with will appear in the Exam and not in real life.

By the way, I'm currently reading the A Programmer's Guide to SCJP Certification: A Comprehensive Primer as my primary preparation book.

In my opinion all the time you would put into designing a building a project with all aspects of the exam would be better spent studying, although it would be a lot less fun :)

How about writing your own implementations of some collection classes, like a linked list, a FIFO queue, a set of even a map?
