Build ID: I20080617-2000 Steps To Reproduce: Secure storage is very annoying. Before there was no need to specify the master password, and it was pretty fine. I hate this feature, but I understand somepeople wanting a more secure approach, but this should be optional. More information:
This can be done with Linux fragment to secure storage to integrate with the OS. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 234509 ***
Another alternative is to run Eclipse with "-eclipse.password <path_to_password_file>" where contents of the file is used as a master password.

This seems not to work. - I created a file ~/.eclipse/master with the entry "masterpassword" (without quotes) - I deleted the directory ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.equinox.security - i modified my eclipse.ini and added -eclipse.password /home/amueller/.eclipse/master (one line at the beginning) - I started Eclipse - I was asked to enter my CVS password - I entered the password and marked "save password" - I closed Eclipse and restarted it PENG! I was asked to enter the master password. I tried the above several times and it never worked. Here is the ouput from the logfile: java.version=1.6.0_07 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=linux, ARCH=x86, WS=gtk, NL=de_DE Framework arguments: -showlocation -eclipse.password /home/amueller/.eclipse/master Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -showlocation -eclipse.password /home/amueller/.eclipse/master !ENTRY org.eclipse.team.cvs.core 4 0 2008-07-24 10:12:24.025 !MESSAGE No password provided. !STACK 0 org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.StorageException: No password provided. Any help would be appreciated.

(In reply to comment #3) > - i modified my eclipse.ini and added -eclipse.password > /home/amueller/.eclipse/master (one line at the beginning) I think it should be two lines: -eclipse.password /home/amueller/.eclipse/master To reset things: close Eclipse process(es) [secure storage gets saved on shutdown] delete the secure storage file [so that stored passwords are removed] run Eclipse with this option To check that the "-eclipse.password" property is set, find it in the Help -> About Eclipse SDK -> Configuration Details.
(In reply to comment #5) Thank you! It worked that way. >I think it should be two lines: >-eclipse.password >/home/amueller/.eclipse/master That was the crucial point.
