   Take a look at jgnuash, a personal finance application. Installs
everywhere (including where Gnucash won't) and runs like the Energizer

   You're probably thinking of PHP and Visual Basic. If you want to see a
huge, complex, well-functioning java application take a look at Eclipse

broadly-used development platform.
