Greetings to all!

I�m currently attending a course in Health, Safety and Environment. Along with the normal classes, it is also required to develop a final project where one applies some of what he has learned.

I�ve noticed that in terms of auditing, the professionals that provide HSE services normally use paper checklists. So, what I was thinking was to develop the same checklists, with a database of applicable legislation and standards, but in the electronic format.

One of the objectives would be to allow for almost instant reports, including observations, either by printing them or just converting them in PDF/WORD format and sending in an e-mail.

I�ve done some research and of all the information I�ve read, the programming language of JAVA seams to be the best choice for what I have in mind.

It allows to program with a certain freedom and speed, especially if one uses Netbeans.

The other advantage is that one could construct a program that can be used in almost every single OS, be it Windows, Linux, Mobile, etc.

So, with this project in mind, I would like to ask for your opinion in the choice of the programming language.

Thanks.
