Banter project template

Banter is a greenfield Java project with the motivation of creating an app for managing tasks, optimized for use via a Command Line Interface (CLI), while still having the benefits of a chatbot Graphical User Interface (GUI). Given below are instructions on how to use it.

Setting up in Intellij

Prerequisites: JDK 11, update Intellij to the most recent version.

2. Open the project into Intellij as follows:
   1. Click Open.
   2. Select the project directory, and click OK.
   3. If there are any further prompts, accept the defaults.
3. Configure the project to use JDK 11 (not other versions) as explained in here.

4. After that, locate the src/main/java/seedu.banterbanter.Launcher.java file, right-click it, and choose Run Launcher.main() (if the code editor is showing compile banter.errors, try restarting the IDE). If the setup is correct, you should see a GUI window pop up:
