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
