family-tree

Hi All,

I am creating a family tree program in Java, or at least trying to. I have developed several classes:

Person - getters and setter for name gender age etc
FamilyMember - extends Person getters and setters for setting arents and children
Family - which consists of multiple family members and methods for adding removing members
FamilyTree which is the main class for setting relationships.

I have two main problems:

1) I need to set the relationships between people. Currently I am doing:

FamilyMember A, FamilyMember B
B.setMother(A);
A.setChild(B);

The example above is for setting a mother child relationship.

This seems very clunky. Its getting very long winded to implement all relationships. Any ideas on how to implement multiple relationships in a less prodcedural way?

2) I have to be able to display the family tree. How can I do this? Are there any custom classes out there to make life easier?

Thanks for your time...
