[equinox-dev] Re: Incubator security patches

["Jay Rosenthal" <jrosenth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We would love to have these patches
and all the plugins we've "fixed up"  migrated to Eclipse
3.2.  

We've only been able to produce and
post patches to a few of the plugins we've actually modified.  All
the plugins marked 100% reviewed and "Committed to Security Branch"
 may have code changes as well.  Many of the plugins now include
an OSGi permissions.perm file too.

If anyone else is interested in seeing
this effort (creating an RCP platform that can run with a security manager
on) move forward, please SPEAK UP.  We are in close talks with Jeff
M (et al), but the Eclipse 3.2 deadline is quickly approaching.  There
is fair amount of "grunt" work involved to reach this point and
I'm not sure I convince my manager(s) to allow time for us to do it again.

The SWORD4J tools have been a HUGE help
in reaching this point too.
