I have an idea involving Java that Im trying to determine the

java applet embedded within a webpage to take a screenshot of the
webpage from which it is sitting in (or another frame possibly), create
a jpeg image of this and then upload it using a form post request, or
prompt the user to save it to disk.

All this is possible. What is the purpose of it?

...Is this possible and how long do
you think it would take for an intermediate java developer to complete?

I don't know. I've encountered and dealt with parts of this,
applets, signed applets, and creating screenshots using
the robot, but not posting the completed image back to
the server.

Even then, the problem is only half done, as you need to
successfully deploy the applet in the user's browser, in a
trusted environment.

Being tied to signed applets, it is not a project I would
recommend for anyone less than a developer that is
'well versed' in applets (most 'intermediate developers'
that had not had much to do with applets would have
a hard time getting it to work).
