Batch File Creator (BFC)

This is a small Java application that creates and generates a correctly formatted batch file with test data. I created this because I'm simply lazy to manually create these batch files.

Project design

This project is split into three main parts.

• Front-end: Using JSwing application for GIU
• Scraping the OFAC Sanctions List website using Selenium with Java
• Storing the Sanctions list test data into SQLite database

Tech-stack for the project

• NetBeans IDE 28
• Java 25
• SQLite3
• Maven
• Selenium 4
• Git
• Log4J
• VSCode

Execution

There are two ways one can run this project

• NetBeans
  • Launch the jar file
  • Run it directly by clicking the Run Project button
• Selenium (N.B., This will only be executed once as it creates test data and writes it into the database)
  • You can run the method scrapeWebsite by clicking on the Run icon next to the method
  • Run from testng.xml with the command mvn test -DsuiteXmlFile=testng.xml
    • N.B., Depending on which party type you need, change the parameter in the testng.xml file. Expected parameter 'Entity' or 'Individual'
  • Run using maven command mvn test

Creating a build

I have created two self-executable files for two types of operating systems. One for Linux based distros and two, for MS Windows

• Linux build cator for all linux distros and the script will create a build for 'deb', 'rpm', 'dmg' files.

  • Linux deb, rpm, dmg build package
    • For Red Hat Linux, the rpm-build package is required.
      • sudo dnf install rpm-build rpmdevtools
    • For Ubuntu Linux, the fakeroot package is required.
  • Run the build-linux-installer.sh

• MS Windows build script will build a 'exe' file for both x86 and x64.

  • Install wixtoolset. WiX is a set of build tools that build Windows Installer package
  • Run the build-windows-installer.bat

Icons

Icons used are from flaticon and icon-icons

• excel icon
• file type icon
• csv file icon
• batch processing icon
• paper_stack icon
