Template Creator

For my work I have started making a little Java application. I have called it "Template Creator". It basically makes copy/pasting information into an internally used template file easier. So this also means it is not of any use to anyone else  :)

But I does give me more hands-on experience with Java, which is always a good thing.

A reminder to myself, the following things are on the to-do:

- Create a "quick paste" button for each TextField
- Create a "select and copy all text" button for the TextArea
- Possible use doubleclick in the TextField as "paste and enter".
- Create an HTML parser to grab the info directly from a website, instead of having to copy manually
- Possibly have the Template Creator window alway on top, maybe with reduced opacity, for quicker switching from the browser to the application.

First two should be easy, and done this week (mostly time contstrained at the moment). The other two, I guess will cost me a lot of trial-and-error.
