Re: AW: [equinox-dev] [sec] JAAS framework dependency on Eclipse

["Matt Flaherty" <mwflaher@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In the bug: 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=202156

Chris rightly points out that I may
have been heavy-handed with 'pure' ;)

Certainly the registry can be used in
other environments.. Though I've never tried it, the framework may very
well work if you simply include the registry. Let me know if there is anything
I can do to help get your environment up and running.
