Hello World project for CS3250

Overview

An extensible "hello world" application in Java, intended to demonstrate the use of build automation (using Apache Ant), unit testing (using JUnit 5), style checking (using Checkstyle), and collaborative software development (using Git and GitHub). Created for use by students of Software Development Methods and Tools (CS 3250) at Metropolitan State University of Denver.

This repository contains all project-specific files needed to build, run, test, and evaluate the application.
