Fw: [equinox-dev] Tomcat plugin RMI security problem

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This is the bug report on RMI &
security. Essentially, the Eclipse startup sequence needs to access a class'
protection domain to find where it is installed, and this is prohibited
by the RMI security policy.
