    Default Phone book program, where to begin?

    Alright, it's been about a year since I've worked with Java being that now my classes are working with C, C++ and Linux. I need to write a program that holds a contacts name, number and address that needs to use a binary search tree. Also, must be able to search, modify, add and remove contacts of course. I've been trying to get started but do not know where to start. So, I basically need pointers on what to start with whether it be making a binary tree class, a class for contacts or a class for the phone book itself. Not necessarily looking for code, but more the direction to start or very broad outline. Any information would be helpful.

    What's stopping you writing the Contact/Person and PhoneBook classes? As for the binary tree, you must have some recent or past experience using binary trees, so refer to your notes, textbook, or previous work for pointers. If not, an Internet search should provide results to help you refresh your memory.
