Yes, you should be able to write a program with those options.
I don't know if you can set the response type if that is an OS setting.

What do you mean by "download"? Is the DB on the same PC that you want to copy the file to?

Yes. You'll probably also have to use a lot of other classes that are not in the javax.swing package.

Swing classes are mostly for the GUI. There could be some used for downloading but not too many.

Why are you asking if there are some classes in a package that could be used? That's a backwards way of designing a program. List the functionality you need in the program and then find the classes that will do it. It seems you are looking at classes and seeing if they could be used.
