Class GUI

java.lang.Object

gui.GUI

public class GUI
extends java.lang.Object

The GUI is used to display Starfish, display the data parsed from the XML files and interact with the data. This modification changes the regular starfish workflow to allow GUI operations. Creates a new starfish and runs new starfish.initStarfish() Redirects system.out to append the console on the GUI. (If you need to test and return the output to the regular console, comment out the method redirectSystemStreams) If loading from file, parses file and displays data in spreadsheets on tabs If you want to add data, this GUI can add data directly to Starfish by the method in the actionListeners (plus.addActionListener....)

createMenuBar

public javax.swing.JMenuBar createMenuBar()

Creates the menu bar. TODO: Huge disclaimer: Whooops. Loading XML data from a starfish.xml doesn't really work. It can load the starfish.xml from the current working directory, but if you go outside of it, then due to the way that starfish already runs, it can't load the other files and assumes you want the files from the current working directory. Needs fixing or workaround

the JMenuBar
