The IBM P3P policy editor is not open source, but it is a 100% Pure Java application, and it should run on any platform which has a Java 1.2.2 runtime available. We have run it on AIX, Solaris, and Linux, in addition to Windows. We haven't advertised that fact, as the installer doesn't work completely cleanly on non-Windows platforms. However, if you're willing to do a small amount of manual work, you can get it to work. You should be able to use the Blackdown Java 1.2.2 port. I'm using the IBM Linux Java 1.2.2 JDK, but we don't make that available for download; it's only available packaged with some IBM Linux products. Don't use a Java 1.3 JDK, as the IBM P3P editor doesn't work with Java 1.3 yet. When you unpack the zipfile, you'll get a 'setup.class' file; execute that: java setup Select an appropriate install directory (I installed it to /opt/P3P), and proceed with the install. You'll get an error message when the install program tries to create the uninstaller, which you can safely ignore. You can then run the program from the installed directory, using: java -jar p3p.jar This will bring the editor up, and away you go. To uninstall the application, simply rm -rf the install directory. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Martin Martin Presler-Marshall - Program Manager, Privacy Technology E-mail: mpresler@us.ibm.com Phone: (919) 254-7819 (tie-line 444-7819) Fax: (919) 543-2310 (tie-line 441-2310)
