In this assignment I was tasked with creating a factory using Java code that can create three different GUI elements for a mock-up word program. The three elements were a panel, button, and textbox. This mock-up word program is constantly developing, so new iterations are always released, such as Word00, Word10, Word18 and so forth. To accomplish this goal, I had to integrate a singleton design scheme into an abstract factory pattern. We do not want to use a singleton pattern for the various types of Word objects we can create, as each one will have a different style of GUI and look a little different in each iteration. Therefore, we must abstract the elements using an abstract factory pattern which will allow us to return different instances that share a foundational class. A UML diagram of this is given below.
