Hi, I am happy to share with all the readers of my blog a billing application named FXBilling that I have developed in JavaFX. Before I tell more about this application, please have a look at its screenshot below:
More screenshots of the application can be viewed here.
This application is targeted at small-scaled Indian Traders, and is a JavaFX port of my earlier released C# billing application named Biller. The features include invoice generation & printing, invoice search, payment receipt, payment search, customer account lookup & printing, database backup & restoration.
I have taken every care to make this application bug-free; however, a bug or two may still have crept in. So, if you come across any bug, please let me know.
The Java version 8 (update 72) has been used to develop this application. Hence, you will require this or a newer version of Java to run the application. You can download Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) from here.

I trust that you will find this application useful whether you are a developer or a user, and you will also enjoy using it as much as I have enjoyed developing it. Do provide your feedback through the comments section below.
Thanks for your time!

hi,
ReplyDeletejust checked your javafx billing application and i think it looks cool, i have a couple of questions:
1- what data base are you using ?
2- what library/tool do you use to create reports?
3- the data entry forms seems to be written in html are you using a webview to create your forms ??
1. I think, It Apache Derby database.
Delete2. jasper report use to create report
3. It's in javafx so that's depend on your requirement. if you want to deploy on web then you have to create build for web. and if you want it to desktop then create build for desktop application.
JavaFX project run on web, desktop and mobile.
Thanks that you found the application cool! As regards your queries:
ReplyDelete1)I am using the Apache Derby database (https://db.apache.org/derby/)
2)To create reports, I am using JasperReports (http://community.jaspersoft.com/)
3)The data entry forms have not been written in HTML; instead, they have been written in FXML (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FXML). I am not using at all the WebView component to create or display the forms. The entire application is being displayed in a Scene that is hosted by a Stage. The Scene contains a TabView component, and different forms are displayed as tabs of this component.
Trust this answers all your queries :-)
Under what license are you releasing this ? Shall I customize to my own for a small shop and use it ?
ReplyDeleteHi, the application is free of all licenses. You can customize it and use it. No strings attached :-)
DeleteThank you for your software Dinesh! Look's great. Few days ago I'm download it and porting to Spanish language...I'm living in Entre Ríos, Argentina...
ReplyDeleteI must change some things, for example, the model in Apache Derby and some things in FXML files (Gluon SceneBuilder not loading all FXML files)
You can reach me at ezicart@frp.utn.edu.ar or ezicart@gmail.com...
Stay tuned Dinesh!
Thank you again!
Hi Ernesto, You will need to change the locale of the Apache Derby database whilst creating it. Apart from that, you will need to replace the Indian Currency Sign (Rupee) with that of your country's currency sign.
DeleteAs regard ScreenBuilder, I also face problem with it in opening many FXML files, and therefore I don't use it. All the FXML files used in the application are hand-crafted. They have been created in the Netbeans' IDE text editor; no graphic editor involved. Hand-written FXML are devoid of bloat, easy-to-understand and also reinforces learning! Just my two cents :)
Hi Dinesh! Certainly I must agree with you about FXML files...respect to the database, all changes made and work fine!
DeleteI'm very excited re-coding you code and learn JavaFX! The beauty of simple things!
Thank you AGAIN Dinesh...God bless you!
Can you help me to rebuild this project?
DeleteHi sir, why i can't open the fxml files?? im getting an error when i opened it. what scene builder and jdk version are you using? please help..i really like your design thank you!
ReplyDeleteHello, as stated in the blog post, the JDK version used is 8 (update 72). It is represented as 1.8.0_72. You could use this or a newer version to run the app. As regards you not being able to open the fxml files, I have clarified in the comment dated 6th January that I also face problem in opening files in the Scene Builder, and therefore I don't use it. All the files used in the application are hand-crafted.
ReplyDeleteTo get insight on issue you are facing with the Scene Builder, open a new thread in stackoverflow.com, or check existing relevant threads there.
Hope this helps.
oh sorry i didn;t read the content.i got able to open the fxml files by updating my scene builder. thank you so much.
DeleteVery good contribution to the community, it looks very promising and I will certainly use it for my own education. Just one thing I am though encountering: in file fxbilling.database/Database.java, at line "import org.apache.derby.tools.ij;" (line 18), I get "cannot find symbol", though I have installed derby and added to the path too, readded it as a library in the project properties (I use NetBeans). I am still green to programming and Java but can't think of something I am missing. Any enlightment? Thank you so much in advance.
ReplyDeleteSorry, it seems I found out: the ij tool is included in derbytools.jar, not derby.jar nor derbyclient.jar as I first understood. Adding this library in the project properties (NetBeans) worked and the error disappeared. Cheers.
DeleteHad the same issue and the way you fix it is by importing "import org.apache.derby.tools.ij;"
Deletehi sir hope to see more open source projects from you.
ReplyDeleteHi man
ReplyDeleteThanks for your source code. However, I need some help as how new customer fxml is working inserting the listview. Which method is being used to insert a new customer in the listview.
ReplyDeleteHow i can change the currency logo???
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteTo get your currency symbol, you can use the code like this:
Currency.getInstance(new Locale("en", "IN")).getSymbol();
/*Replace Indian locale with your country's locale*/
I however have not used this method as this returns me the old Indian currency symbol (Rs.). To get the new Indian currency symbol, I am directly using its Unicode value which is 20b9.
Hi, Thank you for your grate effort.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting an error which saying
WARNING: Could not open windows registry node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\fxbilling at root 0x80000002. Windows RegOpenKey(...)
Netbeans 8.2, Java 1.8
Do you have any idea where it coming from ?
I think I have an idea where it is coming from :-)
DeleteYou are probably running the application either from within the IDE or running the jar file (as against the Windows executable file) directly. Either way, you are running it without Administrative privileges. Ensure that you are running the app with Administrative privilege, and this error won't occur again.
The application requires Administrative privilege because it calls the API "Preferences.systemNodeForPackage" to store or retrieve the user preferences to/from the system backend (In the case of Windows, this backend is OS's Registry database). You can though replace this call with "Preferences.userNodeForPackage", and doing so will obviate the need to run the application with Administrative privilege.
Trust this helps.
Thanks for the software but however i am facing problems using it with netbeans 8.1. Can you describe how to configure this in IDE and what step to follow.
ReplyDeleteThanks again.
Hi, I think that the problem you are facing may have to do with required Java libraries not having been set in your IDE. You need to set up Java libraries for Apache Derby, ControlsFX and Jasper Reports in your IDE. To see how to add a Java library to the Netbeans IDE, please check this link: http://www.oracledistilled.com/netbeans/adding-java-libraries-to-netbeans-6-9/
DeleteHope this helps.
See the libraries as they appear in my IDE:

Hello sir, when I am trying to run the FXBilling program in NetBeans IDE, I am getting an exception like /resources/stylesheets/home.bss not found on the classpath
ReplyDelete/D:/code/fxbilling_source_code/FXBilling/build/classes/fxbilling/view/Home.fxml:14
Do you have any idea on this? Please help me
Hi, check that "Project Properties > Build > Packaging > Binary Encode JavaFX CSS Files" option is turned on in your IDE. I hope doing so will resolve the issue.
ReplyDeleteHi Sir, I really like your work. I open project in netbeans IDE and added required libraries but when I run the project then there is an error that these files(3-4 files)does not have many method. Sir how can I resolve this problem. Thanks

ReplyDeleteVery informative post.

ReplyDeleteCan you please, get me GST free billing software without any licensed version. This software is too good, but I want same thing for GST billing. THANK YOU...
ReplyDeleteThis way my colleague Wesley Virgin's biography begins with this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
ReplyDeleteAs a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "MIND CONTROL" tactics that the government and others used to obtain whatever they want.
As it turns out, these are the same SECRETS lots of celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and famous.
You probably know that you only use 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.
Perhaps that conversation has even occurred INSIDE your own brain... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's brain around seven years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3 on his bank card.
"I'm absolutely frustrated with living check to check! Why can't I become successful?"
You've been a part of those those questions, ain't it right?
Your success story is going to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
