Ali, I sent you the Java files direct to your email to keep the traffic
down on the list.
The install is really quite simple:
There are two files:
[downloads]$ ls -lrt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 840971 Dec 30 16:22 securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 12195 Dec 30 16:29 jce_policy-1_4_2.zip
[tspdlp at lemix downloads]$
Expand the files:
[downloads]$ tar -jxvf securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2
[downloads]$ unzip jce_policy-1_4_2.zip
[downloads]$ ls -lrt
drwxr-xr-x 2 tspdlp tspdlp 4096 Jun 16 2003 jce
drwxrwxr-x 3 tspdlp tspdlp 4096 Dec 30 16:24 JDiary
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 840971 Dec 30 16:22 securediary-0.3.0a.tar.bz2
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tspdlp tspdlp 12195 Dec 30 16:29 jce_policy-1_4_2.zip
[downloads]$
I moved JDiary out of my working download directory to my home directory. It could really be placed anywhere.
[downloads]$ mv JDiary ~/
Figure out where to put your java security modules:
[downloads]$ which java
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/bin/java
I have Oracle installed so I use it's JRE by default. It has not caused me any problems so
I have not done anything to use the Java that comes with FC4. Anyway, the path to the directory to be updated
for me was: /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/lib/security
[downloads]$ cd /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/jre/1.4.2/lib/security
[security]$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 30337 Apr 6 2005 cacerts
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2223 Apr 6 2005 java.policy
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 6871 Apr 6 2005 java.security
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4368 Dec 30 16:38 local_policy.jar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4355 Dec 30 16:38 US_export_policy.jar
I always keep original files...
[security]$ mv local_policy.jar local_policy.jar.old
[security]$ mv US_export_policy.jar US_export_policy.jar.old
Copy the updates:
[security]$ cp ~/downloads/jce/*.jar .
[security]$ ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 30337 Apr 6 2005 cacerts
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2223 Apr 6 2005 java.policy
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 6871 Apr 6 2005 java.security
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4368 Dec 30 16:38 local_policy.jar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2910 Apr 6 2005 local_policy.jar.old
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4355 Dec 30 16:38 US_export_policy.jar
-rwxr-xr-x 1 oracle dba 2429 Apr 6 2005 US_export_policy.jar.old
Now try to run the program:
[security]$ cd ~/JDiary
[security]$ ./runit&
After I saw it work via command line I created a desktop Icon for it so that now I just double click on it
to bring the program up.
I hope this helps. The program is extremely basic and could use some some serious aesthetic improvements but it
does work. I use it to keep simple notes on a day to day bases. It encrypts the data, which was the most important
to me because I keep both personal and personnel information in it.
If you are not interested in the encryption I found two other programs that worked: They are "cire" "Daily Journal".
Between the two "Daily Journal" is the one I would use if I were looking for a GUI. The "cire" program will work
in console mode.
Hope this helps.
