[equinox-dev] Security category for Equinox on Eclipse wiki

["Matt Flaherty" <mwflaher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings all,

I've added a category on the Eclipsepedia
wiki under Equinox for security related documents and discussions. We're
going to be working on incubating some security related enhancements for
Eclipse going forward, and the wiki seemed like a good place to house the
discussion. See here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Category:Security

I'm interested in soliciting community
requirements beyond our own, and your help would be much appreciated. Either
reply here in the list and I'll collate, or add thoughts directly to the
wiki page here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Security:_Requirements

Eventually we'd like to get to a point
where the platform can run with a SecurityManager installed and integrated.
That implies significant work many areas - including tooling for creating
and managing signed projects/jars/bundles, integrated user interface for
permission alerts and policy administration, plus mechanisms to package
and update permission policies for sets of users. We'll be leveraging and
extending the infrastructure in OSGI whenever possible.

Thanks for your help,
-matt
