Secure Data Manager - (a password manager plus any other type: contacts, emails, credit cards, etc) is about to release version 1.1. This version contains an enhanced Type feature allowing you to setup your own types or use the predefined types for your entries. Also, included: auto locking, enhanced GUI, clickable links, and others. http://www.passwordmanager.org

If you are interested in helping us test this release before we make it publicly available, please contact us soon via our user forums. Thank you!

Due to the time and effort to support other versions of the JDK within the current release of SDM, we will now only support the latest JDK (1.4).

In the future, we will most likely release a different front end to support hand held devices. These 2 products will be completely different except for the core functionality.

If you download the application, please submit any feedback for us that can help us improve the application.

We will be creating other releases that support different JVMs and earlier JDKs (1.3). These version will not support all features, but will still function as needed.

There have been only a few small bugs found in the latest beta software. Also, we have left any error being printed to the console so that we can debug easily. This will be disabled in the future release. Some exceptions are suppose to occur, but you shouldn't see the message.

Currently, the 'New File' doesn't work because the sdm.sdm file is out of date. However, you don't need the to hit new file, since the application starts up in a new state.

After a short time of testing and real use, we will release version 1.0. If you are interested in using this product when it is released, please test it help test it out. We might add 1 or 2 more features before 1.0, but only minor ones. After 1.0, we will evaluate the list of feature requests and determine the next few releases. We encourage you to Monitor the file releases so you can hear when the next release comes out.

We are very close to releasing the first official release of the Secure Data Manager application version 1.0. If you are interested in helping to test, post feature requests or usability issues, and comments/questions... let us know.

Well, we are moving it forward, but slowly. Several features are being worked on, however, the data model is being 'revisited' and might end up as pure XML or we might simply dump the data to XML.

Since I'm not getting much help on the project and I've been busy with other things, 0.5 has been delayed for a little bit. It will probably be out at the end of Jan. I've already added the export to CSV format. Search is the main feature missing. Once it is added, I'll probably release the code as Beta and request feedback before going 1.0.

If you would like to help in developing this project, send me an email. Thanks.

I trimmed down what was going into this release. Many things were updated. I was not able to address the long term persistance issues in this release.

I'm adding in the features a lot more quickly. Let me know if anyone else would like to help. :)

Please create tasks if you think something needs to be done. Everyone on development should have the ability to create more tasks. If you need a task completed before you can work on your piece, let it be known.

Let me know how you would like us to do general communication between us all... mailing list or forums?

Open Discussion Forum has some open questions about GUI.

In case any of you were wondering what Development Environment I am running:
- JDK 1.3 and Swing
- Netbeans IDE - opensource, you should try it. netbeans.org
- WinCVS
