Now, on to our assignment.

Description

Your mission is to create a desktop app for managing contacts. It should look like this:

Requirements

• Create a project called "ContactsDesktop" using IntelliJ's JavaFX template.
• Edit Main.java so the title bar says "Contacts Desktop" and the window starts at 800x600.
• Create a UI that looks like the screenshot below.
• Create a class called Contact to store a name, phone, and email (all strings).
  • Override the toString method so it prints the contact like "Alice Smith, 814-867-5309, alice@theironyard.com".
• Create a data structure for your Contact objects in Controller.java.
  • ObservableList<Contact> contacts = FXCollections.observableArrayList();
• Create fields in Controller.java for all the controls (remember @FXML).
• Make Controller.java implement Initializable.
• In your initialize method, call the list view's setItems method to make it use contacts.
• When the "Add" button is clicked, create a new Contact object and add it to contacts.
• When the "Remove" button is clicked, remove the selected Contact object from contacts.
• Don't add a new contact if any of the three fields are blank.
• Optional
  • Save the contacts to a file (either JSON or custom format, your choice) whenever a contact is added or removed.
  • Load that file in the initialize method in Controller.java, parse it, and populate the contacts with it.
