Just be sure that your GUI is easy to use and try to make it a standard working GUI. I have heard that some people have lost points for not adding things like menubars because that is just an expected GUI functionality. I guess this could then be an arguement for help from the GUI... people just expect to see that.
Thanks, Nate! I will probably do this, too.
I have two more questions:
1. Can we just put the online help on any server and provide the url?
2. You mentioned someone lost points because did not have menubars. I am wondering if menubars are must. I only have a very simple GUI: 1 JTable, 3 JCombobox, 1 JTextfield, 3 JButtons. I believe these are just the basic elements of the GUI. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Cathy
