Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] PLEASE HELP: Eclipse asking for username/password for download.eclipse.org

The dialog comes from p2, and it looks like the standard dialog.  Here is the source:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.p2.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui/src/org/eclipse/equinox/internal/p2/ui/dialogs/UserValidationDialog.java

And it is opened from line 174 of this class:

http://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.p2.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui/src/org/eclipse/equinox/internal/p2/ui/ValidationDialogServiceUI.java

However this usually comes up when you have a password protected p2 repository. Typically I wouldn't expect this to be the case for a repository at download.eclipse.org. It could also possibly be caused by a proxy between the user and eclipse.org that is bouncing him back.

So, it's a bit weird, but doesn't look like an exploit.

I'm trying to find the source of an Eclipse dialog window that is asking for a username and password for "download.eclipse.org".

A user is reporting this in the Forums:

https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=854929&goto=1472298&#msg_1472298

I've attached the screenshot for your convenience.

Does anyone know where this dialog is coming from, and what it's doing? >From what I can tell, it is not sending those credentials to download.eclipse.org.

I'm somewhat concerned by this, and I'm hoping it isn't what I think it is.

Thanks,
