I haven't written a line of Java code, let alone used Eclipse or played with iText in nearly 4 years. Frankly, I am feeling a bit as if I've forgotten absolutely everything.
It's NOT particularly easy remembering how to do any of this if you've been away from it for that long.... How would YOU set up Eclipse/iText/BouncyCastle, using a recent version of Eclipse, like 3.5.1, on Windows XP on a clean computer that had no IText or BouncyCastle code already on it? I'm assuming that you are using JDK 1.6 and that you want all of the iText and BouncyCastle code to compile cleanly and also that any project you created that used iText would see the necessary source and jar files? -- Rhino 1T3XT info wrote: > Rhino wrote: > >> I know nothing about crypto beyond the fact that it codes information. >> What is a policy file?
