Java Coursework: GUI Application with Multiple Functionalities

Overview

This repository contains a Java-based graphical application developed as part of a coursework project. The application provides an intuitive Java Swing-based GUI that integrates four key Java programming concepts:

1. Strategy Pattern: Implements different behaviors for a hero character.
2. Custom Annotations: Demonstrates the use of Java annotations to dynamically invoke methods.
3. Translator: A text translation feature using a dictionary file or manual input.
4. Stream API Exercises: A collection of tasks that utilize Java's Stream API for data manipulation.

Users can easily switch between these functionalities using the graphical interface, with all results displayed in non-editable text areas.

Features

• Strategy Pattern: Dynamically switch between different hero movement strategies (walking, flying, etc.).
• Custom Annotations: Invoke annotated methods automatically based on defined parameters.
• Translator: Translate text based on a user-defined dictionary or manual input, with support for the longest phrase match.
• Stream API Exercises: Perform various operations using the Stream API, such as calculating averages, converting strings, and more.

Getting Started

  cmake --build ./build

• Run the application by either executing it through your IDE or via the command line:

  java -jar ./build/app.jar

• Using the graphical interface

  • Select one of the four main functionalities from the menu (Strategy, Annotations, Translator, Stream).
  • Input the required data as prompted by the interface.
  • Results will be displayed in the non-editable text area to prevent modification.
