Migration of the mFinance project to the Gradle build system

Refactored Code Implementation: We made some very fundamental changes in our application that did not translate perfectly into our new Java Spring framework application. However we did take some of the concepts around clean code and implemented them within our web app. Compartmentalization of Code - We utilized Bootstrap as a CSS template for styling our pages. in some cases this was not totally adequate for styling things in the way we wanted. Therefore we created separate CSS files to house additional code. Initially we had included the styling elements within the header but thought to create new files and reference them in order to cut back on the amount of code in each file. This leads to a cleaner looking html page, and makes the code more navigable. Additionally we took common elements that are on each web page and created html files that include all of these elements. This further reduces the number of lines in each html page. Furthermore, once the header html element is created, you only need to make changes in the single document that are applied to all the other html pages that make a call to the header. Use Cases
