Preface

This project was undertaken at NETMax Technologies, CHANDIGARH during industrial

training engineering to automate the system .The project is named as TEXT EDITOR.

The purpose of this report is to assemble under one cover a sufficient body of knowledge
about management and development a successful software engineering project. The
following quotes outline the basic idea behind this technical report.

This report is about the adaptation of the techniques of project development and reflects the
practice and methods of software engineering project this report is intended for:

• Project managers—the report delivers the necessary information of the process a software
development project
• Project coordinators —the tutorial presents the state of the practice in software
development and management techniques.
• Software engineers, programmers, analysts, and other computer personnel —the report
contains a general description of—and problems in—software engineering project
development, plus a number of methodologies and techniques for managing a software
development project.

INTRODUCTION

The project is based on “Text Editor”. This project is carried out at Netmax Technologies.
This software firm deals in developing software for its clients.

Text Editor: - A text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files. A plain text
file is represented and edited by showing all the characters as they are present in the file. The
only characters usable for 'mark-up' are the control characters of the used character set; in
practice this is newline, tab and form feed. The most commonly used character set is ASCII,
especially recently, as plain text files are more often being used for programming and
configuration, and less frequently for documentation (e.g. detailed instructions, user guides)
than in the past.

Features
Our text editor provides basic features of an editor.

 String searching - search string with by typing it in search string.

 Cut, copy, and paste - most text editors provide methods to duplicate and move text
within the file, or between files.
 Multiple font colors – The editor provides 4 different font colors to make a text more
interactive and attractive.
 Fonts – the editor provides all fonts that can be used to make a text more appealing.
 Dock- the editor provides a very interactive graphical user interface in which there is
a dock. The dock consist those options which are in frequent use for e.g. cut, copy,
paste etc.

This project “Text Editor” is software which can edit plain text. It is made using Java Swings
and AWT.
In this project all the frames are designed in Swing. Today most programmers use Swing.
Swing is a set of classes that provides more powerful and flexible GUI components than does
the AWT. Swing provides the look and feel of the modern Java GUI.

Swing did not exist in the early days of Java. Rather, it was a response to deficiencies
present in Java’s original GUI subsystem: the Abstract Window Toolkit. The AWT defines a
basic set of controls, windows, and dialog boxes that support a usable, but limited graphical
interface.

System development life cycle (SDLC)

This is also known as Classic Life Cycle Model (or) Linear Sequential Model (or) Waterfall
Method. This has the following activities.

1. System/Information Engineering and Modeling

2. Software Requirements Analysis

3. Systems Analysis and Design

4. Code Generation

5. Testing

6. Maintenance

System/Information Engineering and Modeling

As software is always of a large system (or business), work begins by establishing

requirements for all system elements and then allocating some subset of these requirements
to software. This system view is essential when software must interface with other elements

such as hardware, people and other resources. System is the basic and very critical
requirement for the existence of software in any entity. So if the system is not in place, the
system should be engineered and put in place. In some cases, to extract the maximum output,
the system should be re-engineered and spruced up. Once the ideal system is engineered or
tuned, the development team studies the software requirement for the system.
