This is version 0.9 of FONnector.
To use it you need a java installation which accepts the FON SSL certificates (any 1.4 or 1.5
version should do, 1.3 may need some tweaking).
HOWTO:
0) Make sure that you have a Java Virtual Machine installed.
1) Download FONnector.jar.
2) On Windows/MacOS doubleclick FONnector.jar to get the GUI version.
FINER CONTROL:
In a shell or cmd.exe type:
java -jar FONnector.jar your@email yourpassword
If you get an error indicating an SSL handshake error, download the file fon.cacerts and start
the application like this:
java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=fon.cacerts -jar FONnector.jar your@email yourpassword
Enjoy, Joachim
PS: Yes, I know setting the trustStore is a pain, I could do this programmaticly - but that would break
compatibility with JDK1.3. I REALLY think, that FON should use a "standard" certificate authority instead.
