Using java

Create an app to manage a listing of inventories for a small shop.

The items in the shop fall into two categories: Packaged or Bulk. All items should have a unique ID (integer code), name, category (either Packaged or Bulk), and expiration date.

• Packaged items have two additional attributes:
  • weight
  • price
• Bulk items have one additional attribute:
  • price per pound

The user should be able to view a list of all items, search for a particular item by name, delete an item by name, add an item by providing all necessary information for that item, and, view a list of items that will expire by a certain date. The addition and deletion should be visible the next time the program is run.

The information for the inventory should always be read from a text file each time the program is run. The format of the text file is your choice and you MUST turn in a text file with a minimum of six items.

There should be a menu for user to choose an operation and exit the program. User interface must be minimally user-friendly.

The program must use inheritance for the different categories of items. When the program is deleting or adding an item, the program must also rewrite the file upon exiting.
