Project4 :
Intro to Event Driven Programming and JavaFX

Due: Sun April 19th at 11:59pm

Summary: It is time to start working with Event Driven Programming and JavaFX.

Details:

create a javaFX project which will ask the user to enter a file name, then when the user presses a button, your program must open the file, and put that files contents into a TextArea. An Example that I put together is below. You could have a different look so long as all three components are there. You may either build the UI in code or using FXML.

Additional Requirements:

• create a  *new* javaFX project.  in intellij (don't submit a bunch of notes and other extraneous files as part of the project)
• be sure to include your name in the project name somewhere.
• Use Gradle to run the project.
• Start with one of the classes, and build it. Add it to git, and share on github early and often I will look at the commit history. I am looking for evidence that you committed a lot. Some of the credit will be reserved for this
• When you upload to github, make sure you send all of the required files - especially the build.gradle and other configuration files.

Extra Credit Possible:

A number of you have asked about the possibility of extra credit to offset some stumbles early in the semester or to help offset difficulty in moving to online learning with the current situation. I'm now adding two opportunities for extra credit below. If you do either or both of them, please put a file called "readme.txt in your main project folder which tells me your name and which extra credit you included

For 50 points, use exception handling (covered in the first half of the week recorded lecture for the week of April 12) When doing this, use try/catch around any of the parts of the project which could throw an exception instead of using the 'throws' statement on the method itself.

for 150 possible points add the following functuality to your window:

• use at least 5 additional controls beyond the TextArea, Button, and Textfield that are required for the base project.
• at least 4 of those controls from the previous bullet must allow the user to enter information (so labels and scrollbars and the like don't count for these four.)
  
• Have a save button that will save the information from your window to a file.
• include all of the information from the 4 additional controls (if a checkbox is checked, where a slider is and the rest)
  
• this requires you to do a little bit of looking stuff up for saving and working with these controls, I reccomend starting by reading through This tutorial: https://mkyong.com/java/java-how-to-save-a-string-to-a-file/
  

Submission:

Submit by sharing the project with me on github as you did last time.
