Double-entry accounting libraries for Java?

Question

What double-entry accounting libraries are available for Java?

Answer 1

Well, I actually didn't know, but used this as a good excuse to find out ;-)

There are "some" - here's one that looked the mots generic and complete, supporting a really wide range of persistence options - https://github.com/imetaxas/double-entry-bookkeeping-api

Here's the component API pattern for instantiating an instance of a "ledger" using JDBC/MySQL...

ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions(DataSourceDriver.JDBC_MYSQL)

.url("URL")

.username("USERNAME")

.password("PASSWORD");

Ledger ledger = new LedgerBuilder(chartOfAccounts)

.name("My JDBC MYSQL ledger")

.options(options)

.build()

.init();
