Dear traders,
I am proud to present the first public beta of EveNexus. This piece of software is similar to EVE Trader, but differs in some ways. First of all EveNexus accounts for transaction taxes and broker fees, whilst EVE Trader does not. Also the way profit is measured is different. EveNexus keeps track of inventory to calculate profits, where as EVE Trader uses averages of buy and sell prices.
I choose not participate in the resurrection of EVE Trader, though it's a great trading tool. First of all I am not well versed in C#, so I wouldn't have been much use. In stead I choose develop my own version in Java. Also because I was not fully content with EVE Trader itself. Perhaps competition is a better way to help, and we can improve on each other.
Possible features to come:
- Ability to ignore transactions.
- Being able to import data from EVE Trader.
- Linux support.
EveNexus website
Download EveNexus 0.1.2.69
If you have any suggestions to improve this application or have any bugs to report, you can contact me using the email address provided on the EveNexus website.
I hope you will give it a try.
Sincerely,
Ren Adal

@OwlManAtt
Although I don't have access to a 64bit machine at the moment, a 32bit virtual machine running Windows 7 exhibited the same problem. I believe to have fixed it in version 0.1.3.69 (which can be downloaded from the website). Please uninstall the old install from Windows 7 first. Windows XP and Vista users do not have to uninstall first.
@Hel O'Ween & Vitamin B12
Indeed Java is platform independent. But as of yet I still have to test EveNexus in Linux. It should indeed work fine. And a Jar version of EveNexus, indeed seems to be running correctly under Ubuntu 9.10. But as stated before, I haven't fully tested it yet.
@Dethmourne Silvermane
Good to see you trying it out. Let me know what you think of it.

@Grendell
My intention has been to make EveNexus open source at some point in time. So after seeing your request to see the source code, I decided to make my SVN repository available to the public today. So if you're interested you can check out the source code from http://minicom.svn.beanstalkapp.com/nexus/ with a program like TortoiseSVN or even Eclipse. But please note that for now I intent to restrict this to read-only access. Also don't pay any attention to the lack of documentation, or code style. There's much to gain in that area. 
I'll be looking forward to hearing from you...

Wow this thread is taking off...
@Maven Deltor & Agent Unknown
I've reproduced the bug you've both described here, and I'm happy to say, that I've fixed it in the latest version. You simply have to download and run the new installer. EveNexus will automatically be upgraded.
@Archeas & FreeEnterprise & Agent Unknown
Have you entered your FULL API details? I've seen a lot of bug reports about people entering Limited API credentials. EveNexus is then unable to download the required information and therefor not showing anything. In the next version I shall include a check on this.
@Lord Meltdown
Contracts are currently not available through the EVE Online API. I promise that as soon as CCP adds these features I will include that information as well, but for now it's simply not possible. However I do intent to add a filter to the journal tab, which would allow you to show/hide certain types of journal entries (ie. show only contracts).
@Dethmourne Silvermane
I'm sorry to hear about these problems. Is the installer giving you problems or is the application giving you problems? And are you able to run any other Java applications? If possible could you run the command "java -version" in the command line of Windows, and let me know what it says?
I would like to express my gratitude for all those who are beta testing EveNexus right now. Thank you all!

Well I've been busy for a bit. I've changed around a few things. But the biggest improvement is that EveNexus is now giving more sensible warnings to users, when dealing with the API. Hopefully this will take away most of the bugs you guys are experiencing right now.
@Agent Unknown & Torndeco
Could you two please try out the new version? It can be downloaded from the website. If something goes wrong, there should be a clear warning telling you what's going wrong. Let me know if it's working (or not) now, please.
@Torndeco & Lord Meltdown
I've also been doing some contract trading in the past, so I know what it's like. The problem is that there is not automatic feed of information about your contracts. If you're willing to enter them all manually it might be an option. But for the moment my focus is on removing bugs, and making sure everything is working as intended. That doesn't mean I don't like the idea . It's just going to have to be put on hold for now.

@Tibalt Avalon
You're welcome  . Let me know if you have any feedback!
@Archeas
Is it possible you're running another application which might fetch this data? Like EVE Trader, EveMon, EMMA, EWA, or some other API related application? CCP doesn't like people hogging their servers, so they've implemented a cooldown of an hour on most API calls. If two applications are calling for the same information, it's quite possible that EveNexus isn't receiving any information.
EveNexus should automatically retry to fetch the data again in an hour or so. If you still get error messages then, you are most likely running another EVE API application.

@Torndeco & Archeas
Ok guys, the new version is up. Please install it, and try it now. I've done some rewriting of code, and I think I might have fixed some of the problems. This version has a lot more logging. So if it's still not fixed for either of you, could you email me the "log.txt" and "database.trace.db" files. These should be located in the EveNexus folder? The email address is displayed at the bottom of the EveNexus website.
Note that the latter could potentially contain your API credentials. So if you don't feel like sharing, you don't have to send me that file. If you do, I promise that I won't use it for world domination and such.
I really hope I can fix this one for you guys!
@FreeEnterprise
Good to hear it's working for you! About the refreshing... That should be done automatically, after fetching new data from the EVE Online API, which is done every 60 minutes. This is a cooldown period enforced by CCP, so building a refresh button would be ineffective anyway.
To all those who have provided feedback on EveNexus, thank you again. Your efforts ensure I can improve EveNexus.

@Archeas
I found the bug which caused the market order bug. Try out the new version (yes, busy day ). This problem should be fixed now. And indeed: the sell orders are located in the top table, and the buy orders in the bottom table similar to the game. I'll probably give them a nice label in an upcoming update.
On another note: That refresh timer thingy has been in the works for a while now, so it won't be long before that will find it's way into a release of EveNexus .
Stay tuned

@Dalden V
I figured this might come up at some point. But to give you a short awnser, yes, this feature is scheduled to be added! It shouldn't take very long to add it in there.
@Companion Qube
Indeed, I figured it would be better to put corporate imports off till it would be possible for users to mark certain transactions as "ignored", like in EVE Trader. So no worries, this feature is scheduled as well, but it's not top priority at the moment.

@Archeas
I have addressed the issue about knowing when the next imports will occur. In the new version of EveNexus 0.1.8.88, you'll find a tab called "Imports". Here you will find every running importer, when they've last been run, and when the next import will be.
Additionally there are some bugs fixed, most of which, have been submitted by people through EveNexus itself.

Thank you Manentia! The ISK is really appreciated!
The new version is out (EveNexus 0.1.10.93)! This new version has a few more bug fixes, which were reported by players. Thank you for your input! Additionally, this version includes a "minimize to tray" function. In stead of keeping the application open or minimized, it will now automatically minimizes to your tray bar. Keeping your task bar nice and tidy in the process.
As always feedback and bug reports are always welcome.

@Fiye Tao & Dethmourne Silvermane
I finally got it reproduced on a different computer. No worries, I believe I have fixed this now (in version 0.1.12.100). Please try that one.
This version also fixes a minor problem with importers refusing to run every hour.
So what ideas are on the drawing board at the moment?
* Expand and improve the graphs (people would like to see more data, drill-downs etc).
* Be able to import corporate transactions / orders / journals.
* The ability to ignore transactions (ie. I bought that Titan because I could).
* Be able to see an overview of your assets (and their value).
* Add NAV estimation to the graph. (How much do we grow over time?).
I've sorted these ideas based on my views from most important to least important. I would like to know which ideas are most favored by the users. So speak up.

Apologies for the absence,
From the latest posts it's fairly obvious that the users would like more graphing and filtering capabilities, so those will be top priority for now.
@Business Bunny
Could you please tell me what version you are running? I've changed the shutdown of the program because sometimes it wouldn't shutdown for some reason. I thought I fixed it but I'd like to make sure. So could you let me know?
The latter bug is unknown to me (as of yet), but I'll try to reproduce the error.

@Business Bunny
That's good news :). I'm glad that's working.
@Alain Kinsella
The program and it's libraries are not limited to Java 1.6. So I reckon I could drop the required version to 1.5, if it works. I'll probably try this out with the next release, so stay tuned.

@Viera Juk
Admittedly this tab can be a bit confusing. But it shows the profit for every transaction. EveNexus matches buy and sell transactions for all items. From that it will calculate taxes and profits. If you're missing some profits listed, it's probably because EveNexus is missing the buy transaction (CCP only allows programs to look back by a maximum of 7 days). And if you've just installed EveNexus, and that buy order happened 9 days ago, EveNexus won't know about it, and will assume there was no profit generated.
In a future release, I want to include asset tracking (and calculate NAV). This should fix the problem because I could estimate the value of the item, and calculate a profit from that. But that's something for later.
But to recap: This behavior is expected. However keep using it and as EveNexus tracks your transactions, it becomes more accurate in listing profits.

@Viera Juk
Yes indeed. Items that (to EveNexus) seem to appear out of nowhere will show no profit.
@Quazal Atreides
Yes, if timed unfortunately EveNexus will not be able to request the orders, if EveMon already has. You could perhaps run a EVE API proxy.
The mentioned filters are scheduled for the next big release, so keep looking here...

@Skavirr
Hmmm, I never really intended for EveNexus to work that way. But maybe, in the future I could think of a solution for this. It's not going to be in it soon though.
@Mory Monet
The next version will allow users to create their own reports and filters to their liking. I think this will make a lot of people happy, especially since no other tool out there does this right now. You could graph profitability per item then (for instance).
The project suggestion is very nice, but I think EveNexus isn't mature enough for this yet. There are a lot more pressing feature requests meanwhile. But by all means keep those ideas coming.
@J'J'J'Jita
The next big release will hopefully be done in 6 weeks or so from now, but please don't hold me to that. As for change logs, nope sorry. I have not kept track of those. Your best bet is probably this thread, as I notified users of bug fixes and new features here. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
I am however heading into my exam weeks, so I development will halt for the next 3 weeks or so.

@Trigger Effect
If you bought something, only the broker fees would be applied. The formula that is used by EveNexus can be found on EVEDev. Assuming you have no standings with the faction or corporation, I would say that your Broker Relation is trained to level 2, based on the info you gave me.

@Trigger Effect
It depends. Did you setup a buy order? if so, it will show up, as a broker fee at the time you changed the order (so this could well be more than one entry, if you've changed the order more than once). If you bought it directly of the market, no tax is applied as far as i know. Unfortunately the API won't show this, so there's no way EveNexus could know.
It will assume you paid tax for it.
Perhaps a tutorial would be in order for the next release (or screencast perhaps).
Also note that your 189,000.00 tax is a guess. The mentioned formula has been compiled by players, and didn't come from CCP. Although it's quite close, it doesn't match it exactly.

I am still in the progress of writing the reporting module, which is the main feature for the next release. Also more bug-fixes, and updated libraries are included. I imagine the next release should be in a couple of weeks, seeing as real life got a bit more busy. So please bear with me, a new version is coming.

@Cara Nob's
A bar graph is in the works, so please be patient :)
@Enthalpica
EveNexus calculates the profit by means of:
(selling price - estimated taxes - buying price) * quantity
So the graphs and columns called profit, really are profit (already taking into account taxes).
And I didn't think of those datapoints yet, but I'll see if I can add them :)
Oh and the 'import/export database' feature, should actually be renamed to something like 'backup/restore database'. It's mainly to backup your EveNexus database, in case you reinstall your computer or something.
On another note: Exams are coming up again, so my time will be limited. I won't expect to be able to release until at least mid July.

@Rasz Lin
It could take a while. Basically you're getting 0 profit because you're selling items which are not in the books of EveNexus. As soon as you've gone through your old stockpile, it should start reporting accurate figures.
Also you can show or hide columns to your liking. Just press the big 'graph' button at the top of the screen.
And about that DB crash...
I'm willing to bet it didn't crash :) What probably happend was an incorrect shutdown. Next time you open EveNexus, it takes a minute or two to start, because H2 is fixing the database. If it still doesn't work, and you don't mind me having a look. Send me a message.
@Mellie Pulchra
Any feedback on the application?

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the radio silence. RL is being a bit hectic at the moment. I've uploaded a new version which contains some bug fixes, and a newer H2 database driver. Please note that there are no new features in this release. So if you're having problems, consider this upgrade.
Before you download the upgrade, please make sure you backup your database with the export function. This release contains a database driver upgrade, which will convert your current database. So backup that database please :). Also the upgrade might take a few seconds. If you run into trouble you can contact me here or via (eve)-mail.
Even though my time for EveNexus is very limited at the moment (mainly because of my mid-summer exams, lucky me!), development is still going. The most important new feature that will be released next, is the report functionality. You'll actually be able to get a lot of statistics / numbers based on your trading. I'll try to keep you posted.

Hmm indeed. It seems CCP decided it would be a good idea to change the XML-format of the standings API. I have fixed it for the mean time. A new installer can now be downloaded from the website. Please note that you need to uninstall the old version of EveNexus first.

@Cesar Menage
I'm not really familiar with Eve Market Scanner, but I'm interested in what you think of EveNexus.
@Cebolinha
The corp features are planned for the next version.
@Devoider
I'm also planning a summary for the profits and other tables, so no worries.
Btw, it doesn't matter which character buys the items and which sells them. And don't worry about the profits, it takes a while before they become accurate.
@Robert Farrish
The profits are currently calculated from scratch every hour. I'll fix this as well in the next version.

@Ras Blumin
There seems to be an issue with the tabs wanting to update all at the same time, and not letting each other. I'll have a look at that. It should however keep importing while it's running, even when transitioning to the next day...
@Acimd
It is not yet planned for the next version, but I really want this myself. I'm hoping to add this later...
@Machete Visor
The table which contains all calculated profits is temporary (more or less). It gets recomputed upon every import. So don't worry they might be gone, but they can be recalculated. The data is still there, just no longer in that profits table...
It's exported as a zip file if I recall correctly. And it's an H2 database (embedded, pure Java, SQL database).

@HoFF:
Donations are always welcome, no matter their size. And I try to implement the most requested features first, but I see no reason why small, useful modifications can not be added.
@Domella:
Please make sure that your API is not used by any other program running in the background. You can double check by going to: http://www.eveonline.com/api/log.asp. This is really not something that EveNexus is doing wrong. The API servers are just not giving out any information because the API timer has not yet expired. You could consider using an API proxy. Most public EVE API programs are compatible with API proxies.

Thanks guys, always nice to get feedback like that :).
I'm still working on EveNexus, but progress is slow because of my limited spare time. As things are looking now, there won't be an update soon, but I'll keep giving it my best. I've recently been restructuring the project so that it would be easier to work with. This includes replacing self written code with 3rd party libraries, which basically reduces maintenance for me. Not only will that make it easier for myself but also for people who wish to contribute to the project.
Thanks again to all my users and contributers. You make this project worthwhile.

No, this is due to a bug in the profit calculations. Profits are basically recalculated from scratch after every import. This is something which can be greatly improved. This bug will be fixed in the next version.
