About the Program

This program is was a school project that I have cleaned up for portfolio purposes. It was a early attempt to write a GUI interface using the Swing library and using XML for data storage and retrieval.
The program reads from an XML file to display searchable recipes, which can be added to and saved later.

Installation

This archive comes packaged with the binaries, since they are platform-independent. In order to run it, you must have a Java VM installed. To recompile the program, you must have a Java compiler installed. Either the official Oracle/Sun version, or the GCC variant is recommended.
I recommend also using Eclipse for viewing, editing and compiling.

Running the Program

The program is run through a command line interface. The general form is

Alternatively, you can run the program from within Eclipse.
