Hi Johann, Thanks for the reply. I think the best way for me to submit changes is to post a patch file instead of having commit rights. I am new to Java programming (my native language is C++), so out of my ignorance I may not always follow good Java programming practices. I would prefer to have my changes reviewed before they are committed permanently to the JMoney project. I'll submit my changes as soon as I can figure out how to create a patch file. Can you give me any advice on how to create the patch files? FYI, in order to get the Gnucash plugin to work I modified the net.sf.jmoney.views.NavigationView.java and the net.sf.jmoney.gnucashXML.GnucashXML.java files. Also, I would welcome any advice or criticism you might have on my Java programming. My commercial project that I have in mind is actually a series of personal information manager programs that all have a common theme. Something like a suite of personal programs. I own a sole-proprietorship company, called MKware Systems, and right now I am the only employee of the company and the only developer on this project. Since I am the only developer on this project, I thought I would use open source software to help save development time. I think JMoney would be a great addition to the suite of PIM programs I 'm developing. In order to satisfy the GPL license, it's my intention to submit for review, and possible inclusion in the original JMoney project, any changes or modifications I do to the JMoney source code. In addition, I will make sure that the entire source code is available for the final release of the project according to the terms of the GPL license. I believe that making the source available will satisfy the GPL license. In any case, I would like to work with you in a collaborative effort to make JMoney and my project both a success.
