Good evening!

I've spoke previously of a community "managed" online database. Well it's not yet online (the db itself), and it's no more a website (my webdesign skills are more than crappy)... So it'll be in Java (no need to cry, I know, it's not the fastest way of handling things :p).

Good news is that the project is on a good way. The only things that need to be done is a "filter" module. Because I won't let it display thousands of user entries without a small search function

What it can do so far :
-Register / login to the db. Registration is a one step process inside the application (no mail and so on needed)... Password recovery not supported yet But It's on the way. Registered user can insert object or edit their objects.
-Add an object (Galaxy - Nebula - Cluster - Star - Planet - Moon - Asteroid) to the database, using a children to parent creation procedure (understand that you can enter a planet and it will create the whole tree to the galaxy if it doesn't exist.) with a pre-filled pattern. I'll post screenshot this evening or tomorrow that'll bring some light on this.
-Update an object (observations, image url).
-Display a tree-view (win-explorer like) of the universe.
-Show basic informations on objects : Type, in-game name, discoverer and date of discovery. A large text field is free-form input for relevant information (spectral type, planet with life, or copy-paste from the in-game wiki )

What it can't do :
-Handle multiple version. This require some refactor of the db from my side, but is a short term planned feature. So it'll be 0.97 only until done.
-Delete object. This require some cross-check (so you can't delete a parent object if a user have submitted a child to it. This will avoid having orphans and messing the tree view.)

Planned but not at the moment :
-More object flags, for easier filters (spectral type, galaxy type, planet type, with life?) - All of those enter in the generic "Observation field"
-Better look of the user interface. It's a bit... grey.
-And some code optimisation because I've played with the new Netbeans platform features (Havn't coded something "big" int the past 6 years.)

Requirement :
-The latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) at http://www.java.com/en/download/.
-50MB of free space (yeah that much :p)

P.S : As you can see on the screenshots window designing need some work :p
