I have been reading the posts here from time to time and it truly help me a lot. Now I am going to submit by assignment this week and have some questions to ask you guys:
1. The instructions about package submission doesn't mention the readme.txt
file, should I include one?
2. I have a file called db.properties, it is the start information about
the database file: like
Start of file
4 byte numeric, magic cookie value identifies this as a data file
4 byte numeric, offset to start of record zero
2 byte numeric, number of fields in each record
I use it to retrieve the meta data for accessing the database file.
Right now, I have two choices to put this file:
a. Including it in the application .jar file, same as the
database file. Once a standalone or server application is
started, ask the user to choose the file (it maybe in any
directory) to use.
b. Including it in the runMe.jar file root directory, disable
the choice for a user to select the file.
I prefer the first way, but I don't know if it is good or not to
let the examiner to choose the file.
3. This question actually related with the first two:
The instruction list the files I need to submit, I don't know if it
is allowed to add these two files into the submissions.
Thanks for suggestions!
