The establishment called ABC Enterprise requires a Java program to keep a database of the inventory of the products that it sells. Each product is identified by its manufacturer[1], its name, the quantity, and unit price. In addition to storing the information, the program should be able to make updates to the quantity and/or the price as time goes on. That is, when a sale is made, the quantity of that product must be reduced; similarly, when a product is re-ordered, the quantity of that product must be increased. Also, when there is a change in the price of a product, the price must be changed. The change must be interpreted as a replacement of the value. New products may be added to the inventory at any time; also, a product may be removed from the inventory at any time. Maintain a separate list of those products that have been deleted from the database of active products.

Your program must be able to produce three kinds of reports, namely:

  1. Locate a single product and display its name, price and quantity alone.

  1. The inventory report should be structured as follows:

Product Purchase Date Quantity Price Manufacturer State

Telephone 01/20/2013 10 254.99 Motorola FL

Computer 01/06/2013 15 756.99 CBS NY

  1. The list of deleted products should be structured as follows:

Product Date Manufacturer

Paper reams 01/20/2013 Morgan Jewelry

In your design, convince yourself that you need a minimum of four classes, not including the test class Product, Manufacturer, Address, and Database.

Also, you will be provided with the class called IO.java (that we discussed in class) for input and for output purposes only. Use a scrollable pane to display your outputs for requirements 2 and 3. Use JOptionPane alone for requirement 1.
