Java w/ JavaFX rewrite - Githubissues

Currently MetroFramework is used but this has caused a variety of issues such as the Windows close, minimise and maximise buttons appearing as “1 2 r”. I will attach a screenshot.

Currently investigating the use of WinUI 3

For the future of this project, the plan for this is to move to MAUI to begin MacOS support and eventually potentially Android and iOS support

v0.5-alpha release will be the first version using the MAUI framework. Initially, this will still only be available on Windows.

Decided against using MAUI and instead will use Java (which means a rewrite of the code) + JavaFX. Reasoning is as follows:

MAUI is pretty unfinished
MAUI doco is basically non-existent. It takes a lot of effort and trial and error to get things going, even basic things. This also extends to XAML Islands
JavaFX has great doco and is pretty widely used already due to it just being more mature
JavaFX has some great extensibility
Java is portable also, and in the immediate term, I don't see myself building iOS or Android versions of Moneybags

The first step in the rewrite is to get the Java version to feature parity with the WinForms version so that the WinForms version does not need to be supported anymore.
