GroupWise Exporter 1.0
Technology April 11th, 2007I’ve received a few emails and at least one comment on my earlier blog entry about my GroupWise to iCalendar converter, so as promised, I hereby release GroupWise Exporter 1.0. Its a Java application, but I only support it on the Mac. Sorry. If anyone has a desire to use it on non-OS X machines, let me know. Wouldn’t be that hard to get it working cross-platform. Enjoy, and let me know if you have any problems running it.
Oh, and be warned, it stores your GroupWise password in the clear in a preferences file in your home directory. Sorry about that. Would be easy to encrypt it. Maybe a 1.1 feature…
UPDATE: Source code available.

Hi Ben, I’d like to try it on Linux (openSUSE)…

Ben-
This is a god send for me, great work!!!!
I am sure I am missing something obvious here…I am in EST, yet all appts come in Mountain Time, something you can maybe point me at to figure out why that is happening?
Thanks a bunch!
Greg.

Greg: Whoops! I hard-coded the timezone in the generated iCalendar file. I’ll have to change that. Look for an updated release announced on the blog soon.

I’m having trouble making this do anything useful. I believe it is connecting correctly to the web server, but it doesn’t bring back any calendar events, even though I have set starting date and months appropriately. Any hints of what to try? Thanks.

Can you make this program go the other way, ical into gw? That way the non-mac people can see my calendar.
thanks

Excellent little tool. Would you consider releasing the source code for this? I’d really like to make some improvements and release it for use within our organisation.
Cheers

Tremendous job! Also, wanted to point out to Peter that I had the same problem because I had entered the URL with “/gw/webacc” on the end. That’s not needed–instead, just enter the protocol and host name.
