Java Programming Assignment

Java Programming Assignment

Note 1: Only use Java classes that are part of the standard Java SE SDK distribution! For the purpose of this assignment, you are not allowed to use any third party classes.

Note 2: You will find plenty of “solutions” on the WWW that, at first glance, claim to do what this assignment asks you to do. Trust me, I have looked at them and they do not work correctly with respect to the details that our assignment asks you to implement, so please do yourself a favour and follow the instructions in this document and do your own work. This assignment is designed in such a way that a cut & paste job from the WWW will not work.

Note 3: Familiarise yourself with the Java Style Guide at the end of this document.

All cases of plagiarism will be pursued! If in doubt, consult the Student Academic Integrity Policy https://guard.canberra.edu.au/policy/policy.php?pol_id=3175 or ask your lecturer.

The context for this assignment (all parts) is the fictional 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Thredbo, NSW. This assignment will test a student’s knowledge of and skills in writing application software for a particular task, understanding the business rules of a particular problem, coding these in a computer program, developing a graphical user interface, reading data from a text file on disk, and connecting to an SQL database from within the program. As such, the assignment requires you to integrate and synthesise what you have learnt so far, in order to design and create a correctly working solution.

For this assignment, students will use the Java programming language and development will be on the Eclipse IDE platform as practised in the computer lab classes. This assignment consists of several stages, with different requirements for undergraduate students in 4478 Introduction to IT and for graduate / postgraduate students in 8936 Introduction to IT G.
