A simple encrypted notepad application using Java Swing and GNU Crypto.

###Build

The repo contains a NetBeans project (last tested version: 7.1.2). GUI portions of the code are auto-generated by NetBeans' GUI Swing builder, Matisse. To build, open the project in NetBeans and click Run > Build Project. To build on the command line, type ant jar in the project's root directory. In either case, the runnable bluebook.jar file and its associated lib directory will be created in the project's dist subdirectory.

###Run

To run, type java -jar bluebook.jar. AES-256 encrypted data are stored in the file bluebook.data, which will be created in the current directory if it does not already exist.

• In plaintext mode, click the notepad/pencil icon to enable editing. The text area's background color will change from grey to blue when something has been modified.

• To encrypt and save after editing, enter your password in the password field, click the lock button, then confirm your password when prompted. (NB: Since the password is never stored, bluebook will encrypt using any password you type twice!)

• To decrypt, enter your password and click the magnifying-glass button.
