[dsdp-tm-dev] New Equinox Secure Storage
Hi Team,
 
I've mentioned this several times before, and now it's officially
released into Eclipse 3.4M6: Equinox Secure Storage provides
APIs for secure password storage.
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.4M6-200803301350/eclipse-news-M6.html#equinox.security.storage
 
I've filed an RSE Enhancement Request to adopt this new
functionality:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=225320
 
Do we all agree that we want the RSE PasswordPersistenceManager
migrate from the Eclipse Keyring to Secure Storage? Or should
we wait for these APIs to mature? Perhaps look what Team/CVS
is doing?
 
For now, I've added a "helpwanted" keyword to the bug, and I'm
considering whether I should ask on the equinox-dev mailing list
for help adopting their new APIs, they might even be interested
in helping us use their new APIs in real world.
 
What do you think?
 
Cheers,
