I'm looking for help with the client/main portion. I have the Employee and UniqueObject classes already done. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here are the instructions:

I've bolded the area I need help with. Basically if the user selects "1" it prints the employee list (which starts off empty). When the user chooses option "2", the user inputs all relevant info (first name, last name, hourly wage, and years working). That info is added to the employees ArrayList and the "employee.txt" file is updated. Sample output is listed above. Please let me know if you need any further info

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;

import java.io.IOException;

public class Lab12 {

public static void main(String[] args) {

// Declare new employee list

ArrayList employees = new ArrayList();

// Init scanner

Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);

// Read in choice until user picks valid choice

int choice = -1;

do {

// Prompt user for choice

System.out.print("Please select from the following options (type number): "

+ "\t1. See the list of all employees " + "\t2. Add new employees ");

try {

choice = scan.nextInt(); // ...keep asking them for an int.

scan.nextLine(); // Clear extra whitespace left by nextInt()

} catch (Exception e) {

scan.next(); // If they don't enter an int, advance past the bad

// input

}

// Inform user that their choice was not valid

if (choice != 1 && choice != 2)

System.out.println("Invalid choice: Please try again... ");

} while (choice != 1 && choice != 2);

// Choice 1: List employees

if (choice == 1) {

// Your code here

} else // Choice 2: Add new employees

{

// Your code here.....

}

}

b) Client This class has the following A static readEmployeesFromFile(String filename, ArrayList employees) method i. o Reads the file, using serialize techniques, and ADDS all employees to the employees ArrayList that is passed in A static updateEmployeeFile(String fileName, ArrayList employees) method ii. o First calls readEmployeesFromFile(String fileName, ArrayList employees) to add the current employees from the file into the employees ArrayList that is passed in Do not erase employees that have been added by user Then, writes the employees in the employees ArrayList (which will include new and old employees) to specified file using serialize techniques o
