Yet Another Budgeting System – YABS

Yet Another Budgeting System (http://code.google.com/p/yabs-online/) is a web-based ajax-enabled application with the intent to provide a simple yet complete solution to manage my personal home finances. It borrows budgeting concepts of a great product I use and recommend called ‘You Need A Budget’ (YNAB). See more details at: http://www.youneedabudget.com

However, the real motivation behind this project is to keep me updated with latest trends in the Java/J2EE world. There are countless interesting Java frameworks and tools, but for this project I’ve picked the following winning set: JSF, Facelets, RichFaces, Spring and Hibernate!

So, this project does not have real schedules or documented requirements. It’s a fun and open project that is always there for me, just waiting to be updated the latest trends in java development! :) By the way, the current technologies in place for this version are:

  • JSF 1.2 / Apache MyFaces 1.2.3
  • Facelets 1.1.14
  • RichFaces 3.2.1
  • Spring Framework 2.5.5
  • Hibernate 3
  • HSQLDB 1.8.0
  • JUnit 4.4
