paste all the code for that particular question.
QUESTION 1 (30 MARKS)

Design a Swing-based Java application that allows users to create and manage a
personal to-do list. The application should have a user-friendly graphical user interface
(GUI) with features such as adding new tasks, editing existing tasks, marking tasks as
completed, and deleting tasks. The application should also support saving and loading
the to-do list to/from a file, as well as sorting tasks by due date or priority.

The main window of the application should have a JList component to display the
tasks, along with JTextFields and JButtons for adding, editing, marking as completed,
and deleting tasks. The application should also have a menu bar with options to save
the to-do list to a file in JSON format, load a saved to-do list from a file, and sort the
tasks in the list either by ascending due date or by priority as determined by a user-
defined priority score. The layout and design of the GUI should be user-friendly and
aesthetically pleasing.

Please provide a clear and concise description of the task, including specifications
such as the format of the saved file, the sorting algorithm to be used, and the criteria
for determining task priority.

QUESTION TWO (30 MARKS)

You have been challenged to create a custom chat application that allows two users
to communicate by sending messages to each other using a Socket and ServerSocket
in Java. The application should have the following key features:

• The server must listen on a designated port for connections from clients.
• Once a client connects, the server must establish input and output streams for
the socket and wait for incoming messages.
• The server must print received messages to the console and forward them to
the other connected client.
• The client must connect to the server using the Socket class, set up input and
output streams for the socket, and send messages to the server.
• The client must display messages received from the server on its console.
• The application must be able to handle disconnections and terminate the socket
and streams in a graceful manner.

Note:

• To test the 2 clients, you can run 2 instances of the client program on the same
device using separate terminal windows.
• Your code should have proper error handling and adhere to programming best
practices.
• You can use additional libraries, but make sure to document them.
• Your solution should be original, well-documented, and clearly written.

Can you fulfill this challenge and provide a unique solution for a chat application that
meets these requirements?

QUESTION THREE (30 MARKS)

You have been tasked to develop a web application that displays information from a
MySQL database using servlets and JSP. The application should have the following
functionalities:

1. The web application should have a homepage that displays a list of available
products in a grid view with pagination.
2. When a user clicks on a product, they should be taken to a product details page
that displays additional information about the product such as product images
and related products.
3. The product information should be retrieved from a MySQL database using
JDBC and caching techniques to improve performance.
4. The database should contain three tables - products, categories, and
product_images. The products table should have columns for product_id,
product_name, description, price, and category_id. The categories table should
have columns for category_id and category_name. The product_images table
should have columns for image_id, product_id, and image_url.
5. The product details page should display the product name, description, price,
category name, and all the product images.
6. The web application should have a search functionality that allows users to
search for products by name, category, or price range.
7. The search results page should display a list of products that match the search
query and show the number of results found.
8. The web application should have a form that allows users to add new products
to the database, along with multiple images for each product.
9. You should also implement proper error handling to gracefully handle exceptions
during database operations and form submissions.
10. You can choose to use any server of your choice.
