That's quite a large first assignment. I'm surprised you weren't given something simple to start with.

In any case, the first step is design. What classes do you think you need? What attributes? Where do you plan to store the data?

acording to my view first I must start with a menu.

1.Data Entry
2.Report Genaration
3.Exit

must keep the menu repeating if the user enter an invalid value.

aftr selecting the data entry option it shuld display another sub menu.

1.Recived Quntity
2.Issued quantity
3.Back to main

after entering data it shuld update the DB.

when recived an order we must check the available quantity by selecting the report generation option.

hope to use 3 classes. one for menu, one for report generation and one for data entry. am i correct??
Hope to use an access DB to store data

"Help me please...!!!" is not very meaningful. You can edit your original post to change the subject line.

Not convinced. I think you are starting from the wrong end. You need your model first, which probably requires Meat and Customer classes. You get that working with a class running a main() method, from the command line. Then you consider adding a GUI as a front-end.

And please don't write cz or dis.

This is a huge assignment!

You need to break it into pieces. Your "model", which are your business objects. How you need to present those objects to the user (and how they edit them). And how you'll "persist" the data by saving it into some kind of database.

Are you supposed to use Swing? Do you need to store the data in an SQL database? Based on those answers, there are many great Sun tutorials that can help you: The Java Tutorials
