Employee Management System

This project is a Java + MySQL desktop app with a GUI and secure login.

Structure

• Main.java — starts the app
• app/controller/ — handles logic (e.g., AdminController)
• app/dao/ — database queries (e.g., EmployeeDAO)
• app/db/ — DBConnection (reads from properties file)
• app/model/ — data classes like User, Employee
• app/view/ — GUI files (LoginView, Dashboards)

How to Run

1. Copy the DB config:

   cp dbconfig.properties.example dbconfig.properties

2. Fill in your MySQL credentials in dbconfig.properties

   • Note: Your real dbconfig.properties is ignored in Git — only edit your local copy.

3. Compile and run:

   javac -cp .:lib/mysql-connector-j-9.2.0.jar -d out Main.java $(find app -name "*.java")
   java -cp out:lib/mysql-connector-j-9.2.0.jar Main

   • Replace the mysql-connector with your version.
