It uses JVM
I have downloaded the PassReminder and used Total Uninstaller to launched it. I found that it still using JVM.

PasswordSafe
I don't think there is any better than PasswordSafe. And there's a french version.
Also, I have heard many good things about KeePass. It too has localized versions.
Both of these programs are open source and support the strongest encryption and authentication algorithms.
KeePass is great
I use this software and it is great.
- Open source
- Double protection option: 1- your choice password or/and 2- a large key file (very high encription protection).
So, you can use:
---------------------------------------------------------
1- A Password only (you choice a passord key):
--- positive:
**** Easy to remember,
--- negative:
**** Keylogs can get your password easy (when you type).
**** password limited at your memory capacity (a long passw is better). so if your password is short, it is easy to decrypt: bad ex: (12345)
**** If you forgive your password, you can't open the database.
---------------------------------------------------------
2- A key file only: (create a key file that is used like password)
--- positive:
**** It is very long and difficult to decript
**** You dont need to remember it because it's stored on your portable device, it is impossible to forgive.
**** You can change your keyfile often
**** Keylogs can't get your password
--- negative:
**** If you lost your portabel device (together your key file), you can't access your data any more. so you better keep a backup copy of your key file and database.
**** If you use only a key file option, anyone who can copy your keyfile, will get access to your database ( ex: you lost your portable device and within is the database and the keyfile).
---------------------------------------------------------
3- Both (Passord and Key File): choice a passord key, and keep a keyfile stored on your portable device.
--- positive:
**** Here is doble protection: you lost your portable device and within is the database and the keyfile --> No problem, will be necessary your password too before decrypt the database. So you can be sure, anybody will open your database.
**** It is very long and difficult to decript, because you use 2 password levels, and one of these is the keyfile.
**** If a keylogs get your password --> No problem, will be necessary your keyfile too before decrypt the database.
**** You can change your keyfile often (that increase, your security), all days if you want, because you dont need rembember this (just keep a copy safe).
--- negative:
**** You can't forgive your password
**** You can't lost your keyfile (keep a backup copy)
-----------------------------------------------------

KeePass-1.05 - windows version
KeePassX-0.2.2 - linux version
------------------------------
i can access the database using both versions, but i just have introduced new data from windows.
my folder looks like this>
keepass-dir/
-------------->keepass-windows/ ## KeePass-1.05 - folder
-------------->keepass-linux/ ## KeePassX-0.2.2 - folder
-------------->database.kdb ## dabase file (where encrypted passsowords are sotred)
I'm not using keyfile now.

Maybe this thread about run keepass from a portable device helps:
