1)how feasable it is to make a java video streaming application.
Yes, this is quite feasible, as there are different methods for accomplishing this task but you could consider RTP streaming.


2)will it be difficult to programm for a novice "java" programmer
In most cases, yes. This is for more experienced Java programmers. If you have not used the JMF before, then you should start with something much more basic. Start with media playback...work your way up.


3)will my application work on PDA's or Mobile Phones
No. The JMF is only supported on desktop environments such as Windows/Linux/Solaris for applications/applets, so you cannot accomplish this on a cell phone using the JMF. But there are other ways to stream audio/video without using the JMF! ;)
