APPOINTMENT SCHEDULER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This application allows the users to add, edit, and delete customers and add, edit, and delete appointments.
Appointments are scheduled between customers, contacts, and users. Customers cannot have overlapping appointments,
but contacts and users can. There are also several ways to filter the data and generate reports to analyze appointment
trends.

Javadocs are located in the javadocs folder at the root of the project directory.
