Welcome to JXplorer!
JXplorer is a free open source cross platform LDAP browser and editor. It is

ways, and is is available for immediate free
download under an OSI Apache 2 style licence.
JXplorer is written in java, and the source code and Ant build system are available via svn or as a packaged build for users who want to experiment with or extend the program.
JX has been through a number of different versions; the most recent stable release is version 3.3, the July 2012 10th Anniversary Release.

Acknowledgments
We would like to acknowledge the efforts of the many people who have contributed bug reports, code fixes, and of course the extensive translation files to the project, and who have helped so much to improve JXplorer and make it what it is today.
Translators
Many thanks to our translators who've worked so hard making JXplorer multilingual:
- Chinese: For *both* Traditional and Simplified Chinese; Evereasy (Evereasy@gmail.com) - awesome work!
- French: Thanks to Luc and Serge, and more recently Bruno Haleblian (bruno_haleblian@carrefour.com) for updates.

And thanks also to many others who wished to remain anonymous, or who we've lost track of, including those who did the original French, German and Japanese translations!
