Joblist & Questions

• Make sure that we are happy with module and its name.

• Should perhaps there be a kaica_dun.main for the main App file, and then import the classes import main.java.kaica_dun.Entities.Item;. Main class can be defined in Gradle build file.

• For development we should have an automated method for downloading the dependencies using gradle to ensure all developers are using the same libraries. Currently info to do this at:
