Buttons, XMLs and Due Dates

Now that all the planning is done we need to set some deadlines.  Actually, to be more specific it is not us who necessarily set the deadlines but the class (this is project we are doing for a class).  So, Monday, April 22, we will have a working program.  Obviously, the application will not be fully functional but the plan is to be able to open and close projects.  That means we need to finish the GUI and the outline of the other classes including the XML reader/writer.

Right now we are working on getting the GUI working.  The idea right now is to make a button class.  All the other GUI objects will just be derivatives of that.  Since we are using slick2d to make our program we don't have to make these buttons from scratch.  Slick has some interfaces for graphical user interfaces.  Also, slick provides a textfiled class with will be useful to allow the user to input values.

At the same time we are working on XML reading and writing.  That's not too bad as we are using DOM.
