What does it mean to archive all my files into one file? Below are the requirements. I have my program working and stuff, but I don't know why it should be submitted online through an archive file? Does this mean zip? If anyone has experience with this and can inform me. Thank you!
The files of the problem should be archived into one archive file named BinTree<your initials>. The archive file should contain:
- UML class diagram (including class relationship) for the main classes
- Commented source code (comments per class and all public methods and instance variables)
- A short description on what kind of Java codes get generated automatically from the UML diagram and what you have to add to make the program working.
- API docs produced by javadoc
- A Readme file for those who use linux as the main development platform
The generic "archive" file terminology simply suggests a way to package all the required components into a single file that you submit. A "zip" file should be fine (there are other formats, "rar" etc.) You would probably be better off sending a short eMail to your instructor with your assumptions and ask if they are correct. ("I assume that a "zip" file with all the components, properly named, will satisfy your submittal requirements? If not, do you have another preference?")
