The Version 2 of Node - An open source financial application

Node2

The Version 2 of Node - Now open source!

Node is a modular financial management software designed to support bookkeeping. It's developed to support local associations but should be scalable to large size companies.

##Reason why new approach After further development of node v1.x became entirely impossible, I've decided to start from scratch.

Please note that this software distribution contains third party libraries. Please read the licenses files inside the lib folder for further information.

##Build dependancies:

• JDK7 or JDK8, regardless whether oracle JDK or open JDK
• Apache ant
• mono-xbuild (from the mono toolkit)
• scala2

In order to start the build process simply type ant inside the terminal. There are also the following useful targets:

• install: installs the application to your local file system (not yet implemented correctly)
• test: run the unit tests
• doc: create the documentation of Node

Please add -Dscala.home=$SCALA_HOME to the command before you enter the desired targets in order to tell ant where your installation of ant is located. Note that if you haven't set your system variables to contain SCALA_HOME replace it with the path pointing to your installation.

This software is tested under multiple versions of linux and under Mac OSX 10.11. It may work under windows yet but we haven't tested it yet.

node2's Issues

Filemenu: new

Add an menu entry capable of creating a new work file

Worksheet browser doesn't show recent locations

Add onApplicationClosing Event to basic events

• perhaps containing variable determinating soft close / crash

Add upgrade method to Plugin.java

Should be optional to implement; should be called when the plugin was upgraded before the plugin executes its main loading procedure.

Also add optional way to check for first launch

Filemenu: save

Save the current open table

Missing unit tests for work file

Implement unit tests.

Add command functionality to settings registry

Editmenu: delete row

Add a menu entry capable of deleting a selected row inside the current active data object.

Implement Job registry inside UI

Do this in order to provide a standert for displaying jobs. An abstract job should involve the possibillity to display the progress, cancle a job (or let the button be grayed out) and notify listeners if the job finished.

Missing Unit Tests

Follwing classes need unit tests:
SettingsObject
Plugin
DataSource

Readme doesn't say anything about purpose.

Add unit test for JSON generation of Permission.java

Implement permissions inside data object

When set to null return permissions of parent

Add internal command subsystem

CurrencyBrowser class not found...

... Aldough the class is already loaded

Editmenu: add row

Add an edit menu entry capable of adding a new row to the current active table object.

Editmenu: edit row

Add a menu entry capable of editing a selected row inside the current active table object.

DataObjects fully loaded as soon as they are visible

This results in memory problems on larger work files

SWT not tested

Simply add a test case for the DisplayFactory class and test if getDisplay() return null or an object. This should test swt's abillity to initialize.

No dialogs are createable from Window class

Expose underlaying shell in order to fix this or implement dialog raiser method.

Window container layout not working properly

The composites aren't attached the right way.

SWT event loop missing

Add thread container class to engine in order to execute SWT event loop.

Filemenu: saveall

Add an menu entry designed to save all open DO's

Filemenu: open

Add an entry to the menu capable of opening a work file

Building C# part impossible under mac OSX du to missing xbuild

Xbuild is missing under mac OSX and homebrews mono package doesn't seam to install it.

Widgets added to Window class are not showing

To fix: try setting a different layout on these composites.

Top and bottom section of window larger than they need to be

To fix: implement size as pixels not percent

Fix SWT loop problem.

In order to handle events the UI Thread must be triggered. This can be only done from within the UI thread in form of an event. This is a problem.

Implement Lang ecosystem

With settings for default language and fallback language
default language from systems default.

Implement resource subsystem
