CuttingBoard desktop application

A recipe manager, nutrition tracker, meal planning desktop application that offers:

  1. Storage of your recipe collection under your control on your equipment preserving your privacy (no cloud-based links that can change, disappear, or fall behind a pay-wall at some inopportune time),
  2. Data entry via text entry and XML file import,
  3. Convenience: the ability to search through your collection via foods and keywords to quickly find what you need,
  4. Portability: the ability to save your recipes and other data in XML-formatted files for migration and backup,
  5. Definition and remote retrieval of nutrition information on a food / food product basis (via a USDA FoodData Central database query) that can then be extended to recipes, meals, and average nutrition per time span,
  6. Calendar-based meal-planning,
  7. Creation of a knowledge base of notes per topic organized via a user-definable hierarchy,
  8. The ability to entertain and motivate not only via a user-customizable greeting-quote-at-launch capability, but also via a few remaining bugs that await you since this highly-functional piece of artwork is still under construction,
  9. Cross-platform operation since it's written in Java,
  10. Free to use and abuse since the code base is open source ("Forevermore!")
