[eclipse-dev] major bug in Platform.getAuthorizationInfo()

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

 I've been loosing saved credentials for version control repositories 
(both CVS and Subclipse) and saved auth info for Mylar repositories.

 Apparently Platform.getAuthorizationInfo() and addAuthorizationInfo() 
methods are not synchronized, which mean that read and write to the 
keyring file could happend at the same time and will lead to the 
corrupted auth info or in worst case, corrupted keyring file.

 I opened a Platform bug for this couple weeks ago, but nobody 
commented on it. I wonder if there is a chance it could be fixed for 
Eclipse M5 release? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=170722

 Thanks
