Welcome to BirDyBirDy is a comic management tool. It simply allows you to index the integrality of your collection (album, paraBD, magazine) and manage it (borrowing, statistics) with a fully GUI swing interface. BirDy was born because I couldn't find any good MacOs X complient software to manage my comic collection. To my mind, the best tool to perform such a management is BDGest' (which costs 30€). However its community happens to be rather Microsoft Windows friendly and only french-speaking. Moreover, BDGest' was developed with Visual Basic language which is neither MacOs nor Linux complient.BirDy can perform all the inherent operations of comic management software: * index the informations of your albums, series, authors, dedications and so on... * manage your paraBD objects: ex-libris, figurine, magazine ..etc.. * view several statistics * manage the borrowers who vanish in the nature with your comics BirDy costs nothing, however you are free to make donations. With this money, I will be able to buy a server and then host shared BirDy comic datas.BirDy is available in french and english.BirDy can be used with several databases: * One$DB * HSQLDB * MySQL * PostGreSQLBirDy is written in Java and uses technologies like: * Hibernate * VLDocking * JFreeChart * Log4j * Cobertura * ANT * IzPack BirDy is under the GNU/GPL LicenseSystem RequirementsBirDy has been used successfully on many platforms, including Linux, Windows XP and MacOS X.For the current version of BirDy, you will also need a JRE installed on your system, version 1.4.2 or later.BirDy-0.2 is now available.
