message-app's Issues

Non-autogenerated Ant file (Build.xml)

One you have created Unit tests for the entire or most of the project create your own Ant file (or edit the auto generated Build.xml from eclipse) with a build and test task that builds the app and runs all the unit tests

Look into adding a CI/CD pipeline with github actions

Most likely use Java with Ant but need to research how to configure and set up.

Unit tests

Continue writing unit tests for classes, look into writing wrapper class for the GUI classes so you can test the GUIs/the system at large with GUI input
