Description Martin Oberhuber CLA 2007-07-13 08:23:07 EDT 
Eclipse Platform / Equinox is working on a JAAS integration in order to provide improved security:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Security:_Requirements
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/equinox-dev/msg02455.html
http://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1549 

RSE should make use of these new frameworks in order to

* Provide secure encryption for Keystores and Credentials
  (current use of Eclipse Keyring is not secure)
* Provide single sign-in to the credentials store with a master password UI
  (like Firefox)
* Eliminate the need for RSE-specific keystoreProviders extension point
  (Use Platform / Equinox instead)
