Explanation of Solution

Alternatives for processing office documents:

  • Teams can access the office documents such as word, excel and PowerPoint using the gold standard of desktop applications which is Microsoft office.
  • As it is expensive, many teams use other alternatives like LibreOffice or Apache OpenOffice.
  • Both of the applications are license-free and open source products.
  • These applications have few features similar to Microsoft Office but these applications are robust for what they do and are adequate for several business and student groups.

Shared content with no control:

  • Email, and
  • File Server.

Email:

Email is the first and the oldest way to share the content.

  • It may be accessed easily but has many problems like there is always a risk that the user does not notice whether the email has been received and it is present in the inbox, or does not save the attachments.

File Server:

The other way is the file server, which is nothing but a system that stores documents or files.

  • Other team members can download files if any of the team members has the access to the file server and uploads any file on the server.
  • However, even this can have the issue because of no control.
  • For example, if two of the team members downloaded the same file and modified the contents without the consent each other then while uploading the file, which was uploaded first, will be overwritten by the second version.

Difference between version management and version control:

Java Graphics (Bonus In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: O о о ○ An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. " The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels. Regardless of how…
