CI553-miniStore, release for the 2024-CI553 cohort.

This is a deliberately convoluted legacy codebase for the CI553 coursework.

This version was simplified from catshop system of the previous year CW.

This version is all-in-one server configurion, with customer, cashier, packing, and backDoor clients.

Notes

The file DataBase.txt must contain Derby to work with the Derby database

BlueJ

To use the Derby database, you must add in Tools -> Preferences -> Libaries %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derby.jar %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derbytools.jar

REPLACE %DERBY_HOME% with the path to the base of the Derby database

Eclipse

To use the Derby database, after importing the project, Move the file DataBase.txt to be in the toplevel directory of your project. Copy the directory Images to the same top level directory as DataBase.txt

Then in Properties -> Resource -> Java Build Path -> Libraries Select Add external JARs %DERBY_HOME%\lib\derby.jar

REPLACE %DERBY_HOME% with the path to the base of the Derby database
