Question
I need help with writing a GUI application that allows a user to select specific options for a dorm room from the available list of options. This GUI application will use JCheckBoxes placed on JFrame to allow selections of a private room option, internet connection, cable TV connection, microwave, and refrigerator. Also – have a text area to show the choice made. When the application starts, the text area will display a message listing the options which can be selected, and as the user selects and deselects options, the proper additions to that message will be made. Please provide explanations/comments of the solution.
