Hi Fabio, I have finished replacing xmlrpc implementation of login functionality by sending http GET request to entry point (http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/) along with username/password.
A status code of 200 will be regarded as successful while 401 means login fails. The source code have been updated in org.xwiki.eclipse.ui and org.xwiki.eclipse.core plugins. I will begin working on xwiki navigatoin panel and replace xmlrpc code accordingly. One question is what resources are to be included in navigation panel, besides xwiki -> space -> pages? and how to display them?
