Old projects reborn - MoneyTimer

This is another tool, I've tried to update in order to withstand the test of time - MoneyTimer

What does it do ?
It measures time and calculates every second how much time it costed all participants.
Great for consultation meetings!

You can try out the latest release here:

What I can learn from it?
- Java 8 Lambda expressions
- Simple Multi-threaded application
- Swing

How to contribute: 
Check the instructions at the github repo page.
If you are wondering what to contribute: there's a list of ideas in the issues page


Tune in, because more complex ones are coming ...

PS:
Check out my other project that can interest you. This time about HTML generation via XSL transformations - http://javamissionary.blogspot.bg/2016/04/old-projects-reborn-filesystem2html-tool.html

Old projects reborn - FileSystem2Html tool

As everyone in the IT business, I have quite a few of my own projects. Most of them rot in solitude and are rather dusty... So, I decided as a way of exercise as well as a check how have technologies developed and my own views on code cleanness, tests' quality and overall project usability, to make them more development-friendly.

In short - I'm reviving my projects (both university and personal ones) so that they are easy to setup, run and contribute to if there's a willing person.

I'm starting with this small project: https://github.com/leni-kirilov/FileSystem2Html/

What does it do:

- it's a simple Folder structure scanner

- it can build an HTML/XML report of the folder structure

- it can rebuild that folder structure elsewhere (without the content, obviously)

My "beautiful" swing UI

Very useful if you like a certain folder structure, and don't have the time to remove all the files or whatever. You can easily mimic it. Quite a simple app.

Now to the contribution part:

- It's an open source project 

- Java 8 required

- built with Maven 

- a list of TODOs and ideas where one can get started! I've listed ideas based on effort. 

I would start with the small ones. 

The project builds automatically and measures code coverage (yes, there are unit tests there!)
(Thank you Travis-CI, Coveralls and Coverity!)

So that's pretty much it.

I can't wait until I see someone energetic about such a tool

Best of wishes!
Leni

PS:

Please be gentle :) I know there's some pretty lame code out there!
