1. The Ethel McKnight School is launching an “Environment Friendliness Drive” in
which one of the suggested measures to help save the environment is to make
students under grade 5 practice drawing on computers. This would save a lot of
paper and prevent the use of harmful chemicals in the form of colors from being
used. The school staff has unanimously agreed that such an application will not
only help in saving the environment, but also bring about a curiosity about
computers amongst the students.

The school principal and the senior staff members have chosen your company to

provide a solution for the same. Consider yourself to be a part of the team that
implements the solution for designing the GUI for the application.

Create an application using JToolBar and Mouse Event Listeners to implement the
solution. The interface of the application should resemble the following:



The student can choose any one of the colour buttons from the toolbar to change
the foreground or background of the text in textarea. The Cross button can be
used as toggle button to determine whether the foreground color is to be
modified or the background color.
