Cooking book online.. can I use Springtool and Java?

I am learning at work how to use SpringTool, Roo, Hibernate, MySQL but I would like to improve a bit. I always wanted to do an online cooking book where people can contribute with their recipes. The idea is to have tags for the ingridients, difficulty and body of the recipe and allow the registered user to submit those.

The server should be able to generate a PDF document using Latex. A first step would be including all开发者_Python百科 the submitted recipes. Another one would be to select which recipes the user wants and then produce the PDF containing only those.

Does anyone know if I can use the tools above? Any suggestion on how to proceed?

It sounds like a CMS you want to build on. Have a look at Liferay which purely build in java and mostly relies on the frameworks you want out of the box like Spring, Hibernate and MySQL. Then you can build your application as a portlet i.e. eclipse. Not sure about the LaTeX integration though.
