Simple (?) Java Window

Hello, I am looking for general directions or pointers on how to get started. This is what I am looking to do:

A simple small window where a user can drag a pdf or word file into it.

The program will scan the file for a word, say "foo".

It will display "Found foo" if it finds an instance of the term.

Is this hard to do, not sure where to start. I have done servlet programming, but not java GUI.

Thanks!

Simple is relative--since you want to "drag" a pdf or word doc into the window, then let me ask--do you have a 3rd party object that will handle DOC and PDF files?

YOu might look in some of the books like "Thinking in Java" to get the foundation of drag and drop and GUI development. I believe the book is in it's 3rd edition and it is also available on-line. Google to find the website.
