Re: [equinox-dev] Re: Incubator security patches

[Thomas Watson <tjwatson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jay,

I opened bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=118832
to cover releasing the osgi framework patch for 3.2.  Joe, your e-mail
address is not a valid address in eclipse bugzilla so I could not cc you
on the bug.

Unfortunately I cannot speak for the
rest of the eclipse component owners.  Should the security incubator
team be opening bugs against the other components to at least make them
aware of the security work that is going on?

Tom

We would love to have these patches and all the plugins we've "fixed
up"  migrated to Eclipse 3.2.   

We've only been able to produce and post patches to a few of the plugins
we've actually modified.  All the plugins marked 100% reviewed and
"Committed to Security Branch"  may have code changes as
well.  Many of the plugins now include an OSGi permissions.perm file
too.

If anyone else is interested in seeing this effort (creating an RCP platform
that can run with a security manager on) move forward, please SPEAK UP.
 We are in close talks with Jeff M (et al), but the Eclipse 3.2 deadline
is quickly approaching.  There is fair amount of "grunt"
work involved to reach this point and I'm not sure I convince my manager(s)
to allow time for us to do it again. 

The SWORD4J tools have been a HUGE help in reaching this point too.
