Re: [equinox-dev] Equinox Security and role-based UI contributions

That's great! We've been hoping to get
some requirements in this area as well. The contribution in the incubator
is a way to install the artifacts required to use JAAS (Configuration,
LoginModule, CallbackHandler,etc) in the platform, and to manage the settings
required to provide a single 'platform login'. A couple of items on the
to-do list are integrating the login event into the lifecycle of Eclipse
startup, and then into the contribution model as well. This sounds right
up that alley.

We have a weekly call, and we've had
some guests join us over the last few weeks. Maybe we should set something
up?

There is an ongoing discussion about how best to restrict
the visibility of UI elements such as views, preferences, actions etc.
based on the current user's role. See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=201052

As pointed out by Scott Lewis on the bug (thanks!), there seems to be a
relationship between this it and the Equinox Security incubator work: http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/security/

I wanted to let a wider audience know about these two things, in the hope
that people who know about one can comment on the other, or perhaps just
follow what's going on.
