My friend has a program written in FoxPro (remember?) that takes few inputs from the user, performs some calculations and formatting and prints a nice label on the invoice sheet (prints the calculated variables at a predefined x-y pos.)
something like:
I am trying to do the same using Java. Since my friend lives in a different geographical location and I dont know the exact x-y positions of where to print the variables, I took the following approach:
where format.bsh contains something like
I took this approach because I thought this would give my friend a good control over the format of the output variables (He can adjust them according to his needs).
Does this sound like a good approach?
