LibroManager is a Java-based desktop application developed to manage various reading materials (books, magazines, e-books, etc.). The application features a graphical interface built using Swing and file-based data persistence. This project offers an extensible and easily maintainable structure using object-oriented programming (OOP) design principles.

• Ability to add different types of reading materials (Book, Novel, Magazine, Technical Journal, Textbook, Comic Book, E-Book).
• Dynamically changing user interface based on material type.
• Saving added materials to a text file (books.txt).
• Managing basic material information (title, page count, publisher) and type-specific information (author, genre, etc.).

You can follow these steps to compile and run the project:

1. Compilation: To compile all .java files, run the following command in the terminal or command prompt:

   javac *.java

2. Running: You have two options to run the application:

   • Graphical User Interface (GUI): To launch the user interface, run the following command:

     java ReadingMaterialUI

   • Test Class: To test the basic functionality of the program using predefined test data, run the following command:

     java Test

     This command will add several sample materials to the books.txt file.
