Project 1 Packaging and Postmortem

Overview

Postmortem

1. How much time did you spend on this project?
2. How many different days did you work on this project?
3. What time of day did you usually work on this project?
4. List the set of classes and methods that you came up with at the end of your design phase. This is your initial design.
5. Now list the set of classes and methods that your final implementation includes. This is your "final" design.
6. Compare your initial design to your final design. What is different? Why? How could you improve your next design?
7. What else do you intend to do differently on your next project to do better?

Packaging

1. All of your work products for this assignment must be submitted to me on a single floppy disk in Windows-readable format. During your personal interview, I will take your floppy and download its contents onto my hard disk. I will do some evaluation of your submission during the personal interview, and potentially more evaluation later.

2. All of the work products for this assignment must reside within a single directory or folder. This project folder must be named with the following format: uhunixID-Pprojectnumber. In other words, for this project (Project 1), my folder would be named "johnson-P1". Note that the 'johnson' is all lowercase, the 'P' is upper case, and the number is the project number. Typically, if you have not named your folder correctly, I will simply give your floppy back to you during the interview and ask you to fix this error and request that you check carefully for any other packaging errors before returning for an interview. Although it would not take me much time to fix this and other sloppiness in your submissions, it takes away time I could be spending with other students discussing important content issues, so I won't do it.

3. Your project folder should contain the following:

   • A jar file called uhunixID-Pprojectnumber.jar. In other words, my jar file for project 1 would be called 'johnson-P1.jar'. In the case of my jar file, it must be structured to enable me to invoke the P1 system in the following way:

     % java -jar johnson-P1.jar -qa test.qa -list
     

     For instructions on how to use the jar facility to create invocable jar files, see: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jar/basics/run.html.

     Note that I will be running your program on several test files. You should test your software extensively beforehand on both legal and illegal inputs.

   • A leap file called uhunixID-Pprojectnumber.leap. In other words, my Leap file for project 1 would be called 'johnson-P1.leap' This leap file should contain a complete and accurate record of all of the data requested for this project. This file should be a copy of your 613-data.leap file in which is located the project definition, phaseset definition, and document type definition I supplied to you, plus your time data.

   • A file called uhunixID-Pprojectnumber-postmortem.html. In other words, my postmortem file for project 1 would be called 'johnson-P1-postmortem.html'. This file should contain the postmortem discussion, as noted above.

   • A directory called "src". This directory should contain a copy of all your .java files and the .class equivalents.

   • A directory called "javadoc". This directory should contain the javadoc files for your system.
