Project 4 Creating a data file:

In jGrasp, you can create a jar file for the source code files in your project.

Start by creating a new project, in the directory of your files is a good place.

Add the source code files to the project which is part of the new project dialog.

Finally, use the

menu and dialog.
In the dialog, you can add any files you wish -

1 // File: CreateDataFile.java
 2 // Date: Mar 14, 2016
 3 // Author: Nicholas Duchon
 4 // Purpose:
5 //   create data files for CMIS 242 Project 4
 6 //   entries randomly generated
 7 //     id, TNC and TQP using random number generator
 8 //     name and major from data files:
 9 //       FirstNames.txt
 10 //      LastNames.txt
 11 //      majors.txt
 12 // Input - using JOptionPane for input
 13 //   int: number of elements/lines/students
 14 //   int: max id
 15 //   String: file name used for output
 16 // Output format:
 17 //   <id> <TNC> <TQP> <name> <major> <gpa>
 18 //     id = int, identifier
 19 //     TNC = int, total number of credits [0, 120)
 20 //     TQP = int, total number of quality points [0, 4*TNC)
 21 //     name = String, <last>,<first>, no spaces
 22 //     major = String, no spaces
 23 //     gpa = double, extra information, not required in Project 4
 24 // Note:
 25 //   uses HashMap<Integer> to make sure ID's are unique
 26
27 // list of majors from:
 28 // http://www.nomajordrama.co.nz/Majors
