Best of 2008: A developer's list

JW blogger Dustin Marx names his top 10 technology events of 2008. Highlights include updates to Java SE 6, runtime support in OpenLaszlo 4.2, and the clash of the titans that occurred early in the year, when Sun acquired MySQL on the same day that Oracle announced its acquisition of BEA. No two lists are alike and it's not too late: What were your top 10 for 2008?

Core Java

I am new to java programming and totally lost. Will someone please help me in sorting the arrays in my product class of the following code. Thanks.

import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Inventory {

		public static void main(String[] args)
		{
			Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in );
			boolean isValid = true;//**
			String productName;// = "DVD"//++
			int productNumber;//++
			int onHand;//++
			double price;//++
			double totalInventory;//++
			//int count;
			double totInventory;//[] = new double[3];//++
			double reStockFee = .05;
			double reStockCost = 0;
			totalInventory = 0;
			int count = 0;

		while (isValid)
			{
			System.out.println ("Enter Product Name. Enter exit to quit program");
			productName = input.next();

			if (!productName.equalsIgnoreCase ("exit"))//++
			{
				System.out.println ("Enter Item Number: ");
			       productNumber = input.nextInt();
			       System.out.println ("Enter number of items in stock: ");
			       onHand = input.nextInt();
			       System.out.println ("Enter item price: ");
			       price = input.nextDouble();
			       //compute student grade
			       totInventory = (onHand * price);
			       reStockCost = (onHand * price * reStockFee);
			     //create a new class and pass the values to the method

			    Product.getData(productName, productNumber, onHand, price, reStockCost, totInventory, count);//+++
			    count++;  //increment the counter to use as the array position in second class//+++
			}
			else
			{
			isValid = false;//**

			System.out.print ("Item Name" + "\t");

			System.out.print ("Item Number" + "\t");

			System.out.print ("Items on Hand" + "\t");

			System.out.print ("Item Price" + "\t");

			System.out.print ("Items Value" + "\t");

			System.out.print ("Restock Fee" + "\n");

			Product.printArray(count);

			

	Product.modifyArray(pName);
		System.out.println ("Thank you, come again.");

			break;

			}

		}

		}
}

//Product Class
