denaro : simple personal accounting / News: Recent posts

After starting the conversion to java, I started my uni project course and decided to use this as the material. Although nothing has happened for a while, the svn server has started to have a lot of activity and I am getting to a usable point.

The project is now an RCP (eclipse) application. The model is complete (including an extremely flexible import model) and I am now working on the UI. The projects official release date is set for september 2008.

The new version is finally coming along after a rather long period of inactivity. I will be checking it in soon. The model is complete and uses
- hibernate
- derby db
- spring

The interface is based on an eclipse RCP

I hope to have a fully functional RCP version by the end of November.

Changing the name from cMonex to denaro
cMonex was used as this was a port from the monex project to cSharp ... so a very language specific name.

Moved all the csharp source files to branches/csharp_20070620
The trunk now contains the new java source project
Version 1_0_0_22 available to donwload is the c# version, this is the last development in csharp, all new development in trunk is on java
The java project will contain an automatic importer/convertor for the old data files

I have been trying to find out the best way for reporting / charting in c# ... at the end of the day, I think the best way is using SVG, however, displaying SVG relies on a web browser / SVG plugin. This is not ideal as it relies on closed source stuff.
I would love to use jasper reports (also on sourceforge), which i am familier with. SVG can also be displayed using batik (another open source project), and so I am now coming to the conclusion that i should really port the whole project over to java / swing. This would make the project far more portable. Any new version will of course be able to read the existing data. More on this in the next couple of weeks .... stay tuned.... read more

Updated the initial release (build 19) as found a couple of errors when starting cMonex for the first time and no data exists (build 22)
