The source code is committed under the svn repository on source forge. Here is the website that will tell you how to get it: http://sourceforge.net/projects/enfomi/develop Glad to hear that you're using it to develop a headless version. If this is something that you could publish publicly, I would be interested in seeing it. Stuart,

I've been hunting around both sourceforge and your web site. I think you have a very good thing going on here. I wanted to retrofit your source and make it headless so I could run it from the command line. I downloaded it and used it and found it to be a pretty good thing ;) I'm very good at Swing APIs including the layout managers and what not. Currently, I'm trying to create a self decrypting archive that can be automated from the command line. My boss needs it ASAP so anything I can do in exchange, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Would you please provide me with a bit of info on what kind of encryption algorithm you are trying to use and how big the file is that you are trying to encrypt? Have you installed the Java Unlimited Encryption Policy Files as I described above? It can a bit a bit tricky on the mac because your Mac OS X Leopard has several versions of Java. You should locate both Java 1.5 and Java 1.6 versions and install the policy files for both. If you need more direction, let me know and I'll be glad to help. Also, can you try running Enfomi from terminal and see what happens? To do this, open Applications->Utilities->Terminal.app then switch to the folder where you downloaded Enfomi (typically Downloads folder - so to switch to it you would type "cd ~/Downloads" and hit enter). When you have switched to the right folder see what you get when you type: "java -version". Then try to execute Enfomi with: "java -jar Enfomi_beta1.1-JDK5.jar" When Enfomi starts up, try to encrypt something. When you do it this way you are likely to get the same error as before but watch the Terminal as it will print a more meaningful error message. I suspect you will get something about hash size not matching. In any case, let me know what you get. Hi ADK,

Guapo": “Ooops we encountered an encryption error. Please try again.” I'm using the latest/updated Mac OS X Leopard and your "Enfomi_beta1.1-JDK5.jar" that I downloaded on 12 July 2009. I've tried to encrypt a file and a folder and I get the same error for both situations. Let me know if there is something that needs to be done first or setting that needs to be turned on to make this work. Thanks! ADK Alexei,

My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, I've been really busy with some important events. "myEncryptedFile.jar" is working as it should. You can change it if you browse for a different directory. Right now it is just intended to provide a name if you don't provide one (and make sure that things end in .jar). I am kind of perplexed about why it isn't executing on Windows 64-bit. Is there a way for you to run the same jar on a Win-32 machine? It may have something to do with the encryption library only being 32bit. I'll try to see what people say on the forums. Darn, sorry to hear that.

What I thought strange is the name of future file on the "Encrypt to:" field: Whichever name I give to it, it always remains with the name "myEncryptedFile.jar". Would have something to do with this issue?

It would help me if you could describe the error in a bit more detail. Are you trying to encrypt one file or several? Which encryption methods have you tried? Is the file on your desktop or in some shared directory? I would suggest starting with a single file and 3DES encryption and seeing if that still gives you an error. In the meantime I'll look in the code to see why it might be erroring out. Unfortunately, I do not have Vista 64-bit so it's difficult for me to test how well it runs though I expect it to behave the same as on other platforms. Hey there,
