Installing DAV Explorer
DAV Explorer is a Java application that depends on features such as the
Swing GUI toolkit found in the Java 2 platform. In order to run DAV Explorer, you will
need to install Sun's Java
Development Kit (JDK) version 1.4. DAV Explorer also runs with JDK version 1.2.x and 1.3.x.
To use SSL, you will also need to install the
Java Secure Socket Extensions
(JSSE), version 1.0.2 or later.
Note that since JDK 1.4, JSSE is included in the main JDK installation.
Windows installation
- Unzip the DAV Explorer zip file you have just downloaded into a folder of your choice.
- Optionally, download JSSE,
and install it according to the
instructions.
- To run DAV Explorer, go to the Start menu, then select "Run...". Enter the name of the DAV Explorer startup script in the dialog box:
{install dir}\DAVExplorer.bat
To run the DAV Explorer in SSL mode, use the following startup script:
{install dir}\DAVExplorerSSL.bat
Then click "OK"
Successful execution will result in immediate creation of a DOS console window, with a second DAV Explorer window appearing on the screen within 20 seconds.
Solaris installation
- Uncompress and untar the download file:
unix> gunzip -c {download file} | tar xvf -
- Optionally, download JSSE,
and install it according to the
instructions.
- Make the installation directory your current directory:
unix> cd {install directory}
- To run DAV Explorer, from the shell prompt type (note that this is case sensitive):
unix> ./DAVExplorer.sh
To run the DAV Explorer in SSL mode, use the following startup script:
unix> ./DAVExplorerSSL.sh
Successful execution will cause the DAV Explorer window to appear on the screen within 20 seconds.
SSL preparation
The keytool program from the JDK can be used to add SSL certificates to your Java keystore.
On Windows, JSSE apparently ignores the default keystore, so you will have to add
certificates to the keystore in the JRE directory tree. Use the file
{JAVA_HOME}\jre\lib\security\jssecacerts.
