My teamate and i are looking into how to:

The application did not work as required. There was a package statement; (-2)
Even though you caught the exception, the incorrect donation should not be
printed out to the JtextArea. (-2) I would also work on appending to the
text area and displaying a pop-up window to let the user know about the input
error.
The code was nicely documented, but did not include a description of what the
class did in the prolog. (-1) Please remove all commented out code. (-1)
This is a good first start for your final application. Nice try!

Also we need to:

Modify the program you created in Week Three to write the data—name, amount, and charity—into a sequential data file.

Implement a capability of reading what is in the existing data file and displaying it in the text area.

Submit the .java source file or files for the program. Do not use any package statements in your programs. Code created with a GUI generator will not be accepted.

Delete line 7 which is your package statement.

Try something like the following for your exception (line 133-137):

            catch (NumberFormatException ex) {

                System.out.println("There was an error in the donation box.");


                if (charityDon.contains("$"))
                {
                    javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,  "'Charity amount' contains non-numeric characters. Please enter a valid monetary value (do not use '$')." );  
                }
                else
                {
                    javax.swing.JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,  "'Charity amount' contains non-numeric characters. Please enter a valid monetary value." );  
                }//else


                return;
            }

I would also change your code to the following:

    private final int WINDOW_HEIGHT = 225;
    private final int WINDOW_WIDTH = 400;

    setSize(WINDOW_WIDTH, WINDOW_HEIGHT);

because when I ran it, the form was larger than needed.
