  • hamcrest-core-1.3
  • junit-4.13.1

Run the app on Windows Command Prompt.

java -jar C:\filepath\BuddyAddressBook.jar 

When the program first opens. We see an empty address book.

In order to add a new contact, we first must create a new address book. Then select the add menu item.

An address book entry is composed of a name, address, and phone number.

Note that the "#" is used as delimiters.

To modify an current address book entry, this can be done using the edit. Or select the remove menu item to delete an entry.

The current state of the address book can be store via the save feature which exports the address book via an XML format. Then any address book can be loaded back using the import feature using a SAX parser for XML.

When done, exit the program.
