IGES to Java object

Hello Dear Forum Members,
I want to write a program which read an IGES file, parse it and generate a Java object.
The Java object's class must be declared to handle all the data which IGES file provides.
I want to ask is it possible, or is it too hard, or a too much time consuming job, does it take months of me? I am a new graduted computer science B.Sc.
Also it would be appreciated if you give some advice.
Thanks in advance.

Dear merve,
OCCT supports IGES format. For more details you can overlook "IGES User's guide".
Also ImportExport sample is available.
