Persistence for the remote database location + some warnings fixed

[gkodinov]

1. Fixed some javac warnings :
   • .show()-> .setVisible(true
   • .getText()->getPassword()
   • Implemented persistency for remote reporsitory URLs.
     It works similarly to the android version and persists the
     HTTP url, user name and password.
     On startup it checks if there's an URL persisted and if there is
     it overwrites the db file location with the download.

Thanks for taking the time to submit this pull request Georgi.

I'm a little confused by the changes related to "persistency for remote reporsitory URL". The remote database URL (and HTTP username/password) is already stored in the database. Does this not work for your requirements?

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for considering my pull request !

On the URL data being stored into the database : huh, that never worked for
me.
I do admit that I haven't inspected this part of the code too.

What I did was the following :

1. I've created the database as a local one on my laptop (win7 + latest
   JRE).
2. I uploaded it to my server (together with the .php pages)
3. I removed the .properties files (as it was pointing to the local file
   that was no longer present)
4. I then "opened" the remote database from the URL location.
5. On every restart I had to "re-open" the database (providing the URL, the
   user name and the password), since the data from step renameTo, copy #4 were never
   persisted.
6. I've tried "Open from URL" on my netbook (win8 there + latest JDK) and
   there it wasn't persisted too. So I had to enter the URL on each restart.
7. I've got fed up by the url so I decided to put it into the .properties
   file and pick it up in startup :)

Best Regards,
Georgi Kodinov

The URL is stored with the database Georgi. What problems did you have getting it to work? I presume you've seen the "Using a HTTP Server" instructions on http://upm.sourceforge.net/upm_swing_userguide.html#database_syncing?
