[eclipse-dev] proposed change to "-eclipse.password"

[Oleg Besedin <obesedin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If you don't use the "-eclipse.password"
runtime option please feel free to skip this message.


We'd like to change how the value of
the runtime option "-eclipse.password" is treated. The option
was added shortly before 3.4M6; at present the string following this option
is interpreted as a password. If the proposed change is accepted, the value
will be treated as a path to the file containing the password. 

If you are using this option, please
let me know so that we can coordinate this change. If accepted, we would
like to make it available in the next week's integration build.

(The context and details can be found
in the https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=223089 .)

Sincerely,
Oleg Besedin
