17.13 - Combine files GUI

I successfully wrote code for the scenario below. I would like someone from your team to rewrite the code using a different approach. This will allow me to see how someone else may go about coding this program and ultimately coming out with the same results. Please code using Java and verify it will run in a Java IDE. My code can be found below. Thanks.

*17.12 (Combine files) Write a utility program that combines the files together into anew file using the following command:

java Exercise17_12 SourceFile1 . . . SourceFilen TargetFile

The command combines SourceFile1, . . . , and SourceFilen into TargetFile.

17.13 (Combine files GUI) Rewrite Exercise 17.12 with a GUI, as shown in

Figure below:

This is my code for the program. It runs successfully, no issues. Please re-code using a different approach so I can compare and contrast a different ways to write the same program.

Explanation / Answer

No need of coding again..This is the best approach and your code is very simple.

If you want I wil do it using Applets(but as of my knowledge Javafx far better than Applets.)
