Java: Hotline Update #2

This time around the update was very simple. No new buttons required so this meant I didn't have to add to that massive if-then statement in the reports section with another clarifying statement.

Instead the only update required was to add the name of the new Customer Service representative so that he could utilize the program. This required me to add a new variable to the repString String array so that his name appeared in the JComboBox drop-down menu. Along with this changes were also made to the ReportPanel file. A new variable was added to the repNames and techNames String arrays along with the corresponding JRadioButton for selecting the report type. Other than this the only necessary changes were updating the Listeners to incorporate the new variables.

At first I thought this update was going to have to take place at the beginning of next month, just like the last one. However since no additional call options are being added I didn't have to alter any of the existing reports, only create a new one for the new Customer Service representative.
