VED-TSK13.docxOverview
This assignment will help you continue your exploration of the Java programming language and the Eclipse environment. This will help prepare you for the tasks you need to complete when you assume the role of developer in Module Five. You will be asked to run an existing program and then make small changes to customize it.
Prompt
To continue your exploration of the Java programming language and the Eclipse environment, you will modify an existing program to fulfill a user story. To do this, run the program provided and then make your changes by completing the following steps:
I. Modify an existing program to fulfill a user story.
A. Review the following user story from the Product Owner for the SNHU Travel project:
B. Download the SampleListView ZIP file to your computer. Right-click on the folder and select “Extract All…”. In the unzipped folder, find and run the BasicListViewControl JAR file. This will allow you to see the template before you make customizations.
C. Import the BasicListViewControl ZIP file to a new project in your Eclipse IDE. For help with importing a ZIP file to Eclipse, review the Uploading Files to Eclipse Tutorial Word Document.
D. Using the source code given, update the simple list to your top five chosen destinations. Include the destination title, a short description, and a small image for each. This will help ensure that you have fulfilled the acceptance criteria of the user story. Refer to the Developing Basic ListView Control Tutorial to help you with this task.
II. Add images and additional customizations.
A. Add images for each destination and at least one additional customization, color scheme, or the like to make the control as elaborate as you want. Be sure to include clear and concise comments to explain your changes.
· Wikimedia Commons is an excellent source for copyright-free images. Be sure to credit the author or creator.
· For additional information on adding images to a Java project, watch this video: Loading Resources in Java Using Eclipse IDE (4:01). A transcript is available here: CS 250 Loading Resources in Java Using Eclipse IDE Video Transcript Word Document.
B. Finally, add a label with your name on it.
Guidelines for Submission
Export your Eclipse Java Project to a runnable JAR file. This will include the source code and the image files so the full basic ListView control can run. Next, compress (zip) your JAR file and Java project. Submit your zipped file to Brightspace.
Note: For additional instructions on how to create a runnable JAR file, use the following instructions: Export Java Files to Runnable Jar File PDF. For additional instructions on how to compress (zip) files, review the Compressing Files in Windows tutorial PDF.
