Create a desktop GUI application for a java command line application

Kademi uses a java command line application to synchronise files from a user's PC to our cloud service. The code for the application is open source and can be seen here:

[login to view URL]

We would like our users to have a richer user interface. This requires a java desktop application to be developed to control the existing java application.

** No development of the file sync is required. Just use the existing library **

The desktop application must come with a cross platform installer. The best way to do this is probably to use the Netbeans rich client platform:

[login to view URL]

A previous attempt at doing so (which you are free to use) is here:

[login to view URL]

This new user interface should include

1. add and edit share sync tasks. Each sync task has:

- a local directory

- remote host

- remote username/password

- remote repository (a REST api exists to list repositories)

- remote branch (a REST api exists to list branches for a repository)

2. View status information

- file being uploaded/downloaded

- transfer rate

3. Display a conflict resolution message which offers the user a choice of using the local file, remote file, or ignoring.

Here is example code to initiate the sync engine using the current command line application

public static void main(String[] arg) {

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

for (String s : arg) {

[login to view URL](s);

}

Properties props = new Properties();

String userHome = [login to view URL]("[login to view URL]");

[login to view URL]("User home: " + userHome);

File fUserHome = new File(userHome);

File f = new File(fUserHome, ".[login to view URL]");

if (![login to view URL]()) {

createBlankFile(f);

} else {

readProps(f, props);

}

String sDbFile = get(list, "dbfile", props);

String sLocalDir = get(list, "local", props);

String sRemoteAddress = get(list, "remote", props);

String user = get(list, "user", props);

String pwd = get(list, "password", props);

try {

[login to view URL](sDbFile, sLocalDir, sRemoteAddress, user, pwd);

} catch (Exception ex) {

[login to view URL]("Exception running monitor: " + [login to view URL]());

[login to view URL]();

}

}
