A full-stack project management application built with Spring Boot (backend) and React/Redux (frontend). Users can register, log in, create projects, and manage project tasks organized in a backlog board.

• User Authentication — JWT-based registration and login; sessions persist across page refreshes
• Project Management — Create, view, update, and delete projects scoped to the logged-in user
• Project Board — Kanban-style backlog with tasks organized by status (To Do, In Progress, Done)
• Project Tasks — Add, update, and delete tasks with priority, due date, and acceptance criteria
• Secured Routes — Frontend routes are protected; unauthenticated users are redirected to login

• Java 8+
• Maven
• Node.js & npm
• MySQL (or use the embedded H2 database for development)

1. Configure the database in PPMTool/src/main/resources/application.properties:

   # For MySQL:
   spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/ppmtooldb
   spring.datasource.username=your_user
   spring.datasource.password=your_password
   
   # JWT secret (change in production):
   app.jwtSecret=PPMToolSecretKeyToGenJWTs
   app.jwtExpirationInMs=3600000

2. Run the backend:

   cd PPMTool
   ./mvnw spring-boot:run

   The API will be available at http://localhost:8080.

1. Install dependencies:

   cd ppmtool-react-client
   npm install

2. Start the dev server:

   npm start

   The app will be available at http://localhost:3000. API calls are proxied to http://localhost:8080.

All project and task endpoints require a valid JWT token in the Authorization: Bearer <token> header.
