This project served as a learning experience for developing a full-stack application in Java. The application itself is a mock trading platform for use within an organisation that wishes to trade resources between departments. Each department is assigned a number of "credits" that they can spend on resources being sold by other departments.
- JavaFX has been used to create the GUI
- A Rest API has been implemented from scratch using Java's HttpServer package
- PostgreSQL has been used for information retrieval and storage
- GitHub Actions have been implemented to automate testing and building of the application
Gradle is the build tool used to handle dependencies for each package. Dependencies should therefore be automatically handled when the packages are built.
Build all 3 packages by running this in the root directory:
./gradlew buildAll tests are automatically run when this command is executed. Note that the build will fail if any tests are failing.
