> 'instance of Eclipse' is ambiguous. I mean the Eclipse installation. The reason I think this scope is the correct one is as that's where the plugins reside that the user is asked to make a choice regarding. For instance, I might have one installation with pre-release code that's private and another installation with all released code that's ok to report.

That seems highly unworkable. I don't know of any user who would tolerate constant prompting like that.

A method name such as SHA4096 may reveal what algorithm is being exploited/developed. Too risky if you are not sure. > My proposal: When a we detect a non-OSS stack frame, > we actively ask the > user to make a choice that’s then persisted for that instance of Eclipse. 'instance of Eclipse' is ambiguous. If the choice is persisted in the workspace that seems too dangerous, one accidental answer and Eclipse becomes leaky. Persisting only until the next Eclipse restart seems like a good idea. Regards Ed Willink On 22/07/2015 22:39, Marcel Bruch wrote: >> My proposal:… > > Sounds okay to me.
