Eclipse SecurityManager [message #201603]

Hi,

Is there a recommended way to deal with SecurityManager in eclipse plugin?
I am not interested in setting security manager from command line beacause
that would be too intrusive and inconvinient.

Plugin A can set its own SecurityManager but there is no guarantee that
plugin B will not replace it. Plugin A can install such SecurityManager
that prevents any further reinstalling of SecurityManagers. But that
brings its own set of problems (plugin race to install SecurityManager).

I am suprised that Eclipse does not include its own preinstalled security
manager that would for instance pop a dialog when certain permissions are
requested by a certain plugin?

Any comments?

Regards,
Vladimir
