KWIC database.

  What kind of database should we implement? Can it be like a flat text file,
  the simplest of all, or some other format?

Up to you (but don't bother with files; see the answer below). However, you
should write your own database; don't use an external one, and don't use any of
the Java-SQL stuff. Just come up with a nice, simple, internal database.

  One way I can think of is as is done in C++, where you have collections which
  can de archived to disk using MFC APIs.

The database doesn't need to be persistent. The database needs to exist only
when the program is running; once the program exits, the database disappears.
