Okay... I have to hand in this assignment, but I'm still stuck in the same place. Chin Loong suggested to use properties, but I just don't know how. Probably it's something very stupid, but I didn't get it. Anybody can help??? Here is the problem: I'm trying to call a text file, using this ReadText class, inside another class (Restart), in order to replace the lines in this class. Unfortunately, I'm new in the language and I cannot figure out how to do that. Does anybody have any hint on how to do that? The ReadText is the class that reads the text file. The GrenhouseControls has a class called Restart, where there is a copy of this text file. Actually, if we uncomment this text, it should be the configuration for the program. At the end, there is the class Event that is missing to complete the package. Thanks! Eduardo import java.io.*; import java.util.*;
