Review of Java tutorial gui-functionality.adoc. I made the following mods:
1. In step 2 of "Creating a Project" I noted that "Java with Ant" project
type should be selected. This is the project type that offers the
library-sharing functionality mentioned in step 4 of this section.
2. Under "Renamingh the Components" I inserted a step explaining that, in
order to make the project gui look like the one in the tutorial image, the
horizontal alignment on the labels should be set to RIGHT.
3. Under "Running the Program", I corrected the link to javase-deploy
tutorial, as the existing link resulted in a file not found.# Please enter the
