Project description:
"I need an experienced Java developer to re-implement my existing Windows desktop application in Java. The current software combines a fairly traditional Windows UI with several system-utility features (file manipulation, OS calls, small background tasks). I’m happy for the interface to be refreshed—colour scheme, layout, even navigation can change—but all core behaviours must feel the same to end users.

You will start by analysing the Windows version (source code and binaries will be shared) and producing a Java build that runs smoothly on modern Windows machines. Where the original relies on platform-specific APIs, please replace them with equivalent, well-maintained Java libraries or your own cross-platform code. I have no preference between Swing, JavaFX or another modern toolkit; choose whichever lets you match the original behaviour with clean, maintainable code.

Acceptance criteria and hand-off items:
• Complete Java source code with clear structure and comments
• Executable JAR or native installer for easy testing
• Documentation that maps each original feature to its Java counterpart, noting any API substitutions
• Brief guide explaining how to build the project from source

If this sounds like a match for your skills, let me know how you’d tackle the UI translation and any libraries you’d lean on for the system-utility pieces." (client-provided description)
