What keytool did intrigued me as I had no previous exposure to Cryptography. It was then, in the course of my day job, that I came across keytool. The last thing I wanted to do was write yet another text editor or world clock, something that had been done a hundred times before. As a bonus it would be great if the side-project was something new.

However, to get the full benefit of working with Java and Swing what I really needed was a side-project, something outside of work where I would be free to develop as a chose, free from interference. My employer looked to be going places, the fallout from the Dot Com bubble hadn’t yet bitten and I was working with interesting technology. I may dip into these topics in later postings).Īll was well in my world. If you put in the effort into each you can reap the benefits. (WORA and Swing are much maligned but not by me. Many things interested me about the language notably its simplicity when compared to C++, the principle of Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) and the cross-platform GUI toolkit: Swing. I had just joined an ISV in Glasgow to cross-train as a Java developer. As the utility is now almost ten years old I feel it is a good time to write a potted history of KSE.īack in mid-2001 I was a relatively green programmer with only four years of industry experience, mostly in C/C++ and RDBMS. It is only relatively recently that it was re-licensed to be free for all to use once again. KSE started as an open source project before morphing into a commercial project. These days it is a freeware offering but it has not always been that way. KeyStore Explorer (KSE) has existed, in one form or another, since 2002.
