Contact List

With the ContactList program, you are able to save a contact list of customers to a file, view all contacts information, add a contact to the list, delete a contact from the list, search a contact by name, and generate html file for the contact list so that it can be printed.

The contact list is stored in a data structure called HashMap. Each HashMap entry contains the name of the customer as its key and its value is an customer object that contains customer name, sex, address, email, and phone number.
