We're officially getting started on
incubating some fundamental security integration into the Eclipse platform.
The initial contribution of code for JAAS-based login and JCA-based provider
support has been approved per this
IPzilla, and committed via this
Bugzilla. A quick setup guide
is on
the wiki.
We've revamped the security
pages at the Equinox site, and
a draft 3.4 plan is posted here.
We'll be adding more details regarding the subsequent milestones shortly,
and starting to have regular calls to discuss issues and progress soon.
Comments welcome via this list or Bugzillas
categorized to the incubator and prefixed with [sec]. Enjoy!
