Hi,

I think i have finished my B&S assignment. However i am unsure whether i should implement some features i have heard people discussing here, such as:

-JTable sorting
-Logging
-Progress bar when application is waiting

Do you think points will be deducted if these features are not implemented?

I am against implementing extra features for 2 reasons... first is that they were not asked for, and second being that now i'm fed up and want to get over with scjd

Hi Chris,

I know how you feel.

I have also some ideas for further enhancement. Since I want to finsh soon, I decided against further development items.

I have what Sun wanted so I vote against further development items.

Hi Chris,

From the three extra features you mentioned I added only the logging to console, so instead of having printStackTrace() in case of an Exception, I chose the Logger (and of course popups on GUI side).
Regarding the JTable I don't alow even the reordering of the columns, not to mention the sorting of them. Sun didn't asked them so I don't implement.

But according to their specification, you will not gain or loss point by implementing or not the extra features you talked about (or any other).

Regards,

Romeo

Hi,

The re-ording of JTable I did. The sorting of JTable is not done by me.

It is on my nice-to-have-list-that-is-not-going-to-be-implemented.

Thanks for your comments, glad someone else thinks the same. Can't wait to finish this boring documentation

Hi Chris,

Good point. Today is my sixth day of writing JavaDoc and it might take at least three further day for my JavaDoc.

Nope, though points may be deducted if you do implement those features.

You get no points for extra stuff and if they don't like the way you've coded the extra stuff, you might lose points...

(I did the bare minimum that fulfilled requirements)...
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
