JAVA GUI SWING SCHOOL TASK

Task 1: In the following exercise you will create a Java application that combines Swing with XML. The Application purpose is to display the contents of a number of RSS feeds as read on the Internet. The application interface mainly consists of a window (JFrame), see the picture below. This window is divided into three parts, each containing a component: (see picture uploaded) 1. A list on the left that contains the name of a number of RSS feeds. 2. A table on the right that contains all news items (items) for a specific RSS feed. 3. A text window to the right, below the table, which contains the contents of the selected news item. (see uploaded picture for this to make sense as well) It shall be possible to adjust the width between the list and the other two components by dragging the vertical bar between the two, to the right or left. The division of the interface adjustable parts achieves this m.h.a. Swing component JSplitPane. Description of the application's appearance and functionality Your application must have the following appearance and functionality: 1. The application window should be possible to adjust the size. You may select the appropriate boot size of the window and the appropriate width and height distribution between the three the main components 2. The window should have a menu list with a menu to be named "File". This menu will have two menu options: "Open" and "Exit". 3. The user must, by selecting "Open" menu item, open an XML file called "[login to view URL]" (the structure of which is described below) containing a number RSSstreams and description of these m.h.a. JFileChooser. 4. This XML file is then parsed m.h.a a DOM parser to the DOM tree. then collected data from the tree and added an appropriate data structure. 5. The titles of the RSS feeds will then appear in the list on the left. 6. When the user selects one of the streams in the list and press the button "Open Stream" Above the list, an HTTP calls made on the selected RSS channel link (URL). The result the call is received as XML to the application. The contents of the XML stream comprises apart from the initial information about the power of a number of item elements, hereafter referred RSS item. This XML document is parsed and all RSS items to be picked up and placed in a suitable data structure. An RSS item consists of four elements: a. the title (not to be confused with the RSS stream title) called title. b. a link that represents the current RSS itemets link (not to be confused with the current URL) called link. c. the news text called Description. d. the publication date pubDate called. 7. The current channel all, loaded RSS items to be displayed in the table at right. There shall However, only the title, publication date and a link is displayed. 8. When a user selects a row (an RSS item) in the table, this novelty items text (Description) shown in JTextArean under the table. 9. JTextArean where the content to be displayed should not be edited by the user. It shall not Nor have any horizontal scroll bar. The text should also wrap automatically between words (not in a word). 10. If you select a new start for the reading to be the old contents of the table and replaced the text windows to be cleared. 11. You must decide the layout (font, color, width, height, etc.) on the application as long as the has the three components. The file "[login to view URL]" that i will upload for this task contains a number of RSS feeds (Channels). For each channel, there is a title that indicates the channel name. This is the name to be appears in the list and a link indicating the URL for the channel. This URL will be used to make the call when the channel should be read.
