Well, JKeyManager is now a project on SourceForge. You can find it here. I am pretty excited about this. I am looking forward to putting a great tool out there, and hope that people will find it usefull.
So, I need to get my ass in gear and get more work done on it. So far I built a simple GUI that was able to load arbitrary keystore and display the contents. This was my first attempt at SWT, so it was pretty much a hack. So, I’m rewriting for clarity and to use more of the JFaces code. So far, I like SWT alot more than Swing - it just seems clearer to me. Especially when you add in JFaces. If Swing had the JFaces equivilent, I probably would not be using SWT. However, I have not seen anything (free) that comes close so for now, I am going to stick with what I have.
I do not plan to do a release until I have at least 80% of keytool’s functionality in the GUI. I hope to have that by the end of February or so. So far, it’s taken slightly longer than I expected, due primarily do to learning the SWT and lack of a good SWT Gui Designer. I need to go back and look at what Eclipse plugins are available again. I really do not want to hand build the dialogs.
