[equinox-dev] Credential management for Eclipse...







Greeting all, 

I just posted a draft requirements and high-level discussion document 
regarding one of the first steps needed towards enabling security in 
Eclipse - management of user credentials (i.e.: private keys for signing 
and public certificates for trust decisions). See: 

http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Security:_KeyStore_support_for_Eclipse 

The proposal is that we stick to standard Java API's where possible (like 
KeyStore, CertStore, etc). From a user interaction standpoint, I would 
especially like to rationalize this work with General->Network Connections 
in the platform preferences, and particularly with the SSH2 section on Key 
Management. 

 Please have  a look and post comments criticisms, etc. 

Thanks, 
-matt
