In this assignment you will develop a JavaSE desktop application that can be used for cataloging items At the end of this document you will find:
1. A description of the context for your application with an associated UML Class diagram showing the basic classes to implement.
2. A set of changes for you to make to your UML diagram
You need to work through the following series of tasks in order, your mark will depend on your progress and the quality of the work you have done.
Task 1: Implement the UML Class diagram you have been given and
complete your list of changes
Task 2: Write a program that creates at least 10 objects which represent
a range of different catalog items, write them to a file, then read the file back to show that the original 10 objects have been restored successfully.
Task 3: Create a GUI Java application using Swing (not using any GUI
design tools) including a Scrollable JTextArea and at least one JButton which can be used to load at least 10 catalog item objects from a file and show them formatted in an appropriate way in the JTextArea.
Task 4:
Task 5:
Extend the Java GUI from Task 3 to provide a way of creating
new catalog item objects (of different types) which can be added
to an existing collection and both written to then read from a file.
Extend Task 4 to provide a GUI which enables browsing, editing
and deleting catalog item objects (of different types).
Extend Task 5 to provide an elegant GUI solution management of catalog Item for your ”f
for example, use dialogues to confirm deletion and make more advanced features of Swing such as JMenu or JTabbedPane.
