[platform-dev] Eclipse PCP application and JAAS

[Mike Weiss <Mike.Weiss@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

we are developing an Eclipse RCP application which has to be secured with Java 2 Security capabilities.

The Rich Client part uses "Business Logic Components", which can either run inside the Client VM or in an Application Server VM. The "Business Logic Components" possess Connector classes (like J2EE Business delegates) to use them. The connector classes are packaged in a separate jar, so that is is feasible to secure these jars with Java Policy files. 

But what about all the custom developed and Eclipse runtime Plugins, how do I secure them (in the policy file). Any pointers / experiences would be very helpful..

Thanks,
Mike
