Need help pls with this Java ecom desktop app with a personal blog system in IntelliJ
I'm a CS student and a beginner in Java, and I have a university course project in Application Development that involves revising an e-commerce desktop application template and transforming it into our system, which we chose. For my case, I chose a personal blog system in which it aims to make a blog system for business owners in a way it helps them plan their businesses, such as the products they plan to sell etc. It is like a business owner-centered planner, basically combining MS Word and Notion. The DEADLINE of this is July 24, 2025 and although I do have progress, I still struggle on changing some of the classes, considering it is a hard-coded ecommerce application. So here are images of my unfinished application done in IntelliJ if you guys are curious about how to help me within how to do the backend, frontend, and others such as the database and docker.

What exactly is the issue there?
Like what do you actually want to change?
tbh, its everything but these class types:






and i also struggle on how to make the back end work
I can't randomly tell you how to make something work or how to change/restructure something if you don't tell me the specific issue you are facing
i basically do not know where to start
with what exactly?
like yes i already start editing the codes by adding new classes like fixing the front end in javafx
as well as adding new classes such as the blog class
but the thing is idk whats next
focus on one thing and do that first
Java springboot huh, when it comes to thinking of what else make. Which is basically designing. It would be good to imagine what your ideal blog would look like. You can try referencing other examples. Quick google or chatgpt for link references would work fine. Then try to copy one of their features. It's usually abit harder when you are trying to change an existing system, so feel free to cull off anything not needed so you don't get confused trying to navigate it.
Thanks but I worry more about my time. I have other projects to handle aside from this and my semester is ending.
