How to install the OPS plugin for JXplorer

• Install JXplorer
  • Download JXplorer form their website: here
  • Install JXplorer by double clicking the downloaded file and following the instructions
• Install the JXplorer OPS plugin
  • Download the JXplorer OPS plugin here
  • Extract the zip file in the directory JXplorer was installed in
    • On a Microsoft Windows OS this is usually "C:\Program Files\JXplorer"
    • Copy the plugin to the JXplorer directory
    • Right click on it and select extract here
• Configure the OPS JXplorer plugin
  • Open the file "project.properties" with a text editor, it is located in the directory JXplorer was installed in
  • Change all settings
  • Save the file

Note: Using the Lax starter (on a Microsoft Windows OS "jxplorer.exe") won't work properly after the plugin is installed. To fix this problem:

• Open "JXplorer LDAP Browser.lax" (located in the JXplorer main folder) with a text editor
• Change the line starting with: "lax.class.path=" into:

lax.class.path=.;jars/imap.jar;jars/mail.jar;jars/jdom-1.0.jar;jars/jakarta-slide-webdavlib-2.1.jar;jars/commons-httpclient.jar;jars/commons-logging.jar;jars/activation.jar;plugins/project.jar;jars/help.jar;jars/jhall.jar;jars/junit.jar;jars/jxplorer.jar;lax.jar

• Save the file, now JXplorer can be run with Lax starter.

Importing the IMAP server key into the JRE keystore

In order to connect to your SSL secured IMAP server, the JRE needs to trust the Certificate Authority that issued the SSL certificate. If you have self signed it, make sure you import the CA certificate into the JRE keystore.

Windows

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06>keytool -import -alias linapp01.func.nl -file "C:\Documents and Settings\zoran\Local Settings\Temp\linapp01.fucn.nl.cer" -keystore "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\security\cacerts"

Ubuntu Linux

zoran@junior:~$ sudo /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/keytool -import -alias linapp01 - file /home/zoran/Keys\ and\ Signatures/linapp01.fucn.nl.cer -keystore /usr/lib/j 2sdk1.5-sun/jre/lib/security/cacerts
