Hi Matt,
Thanks for comments. A couple of follow ups.

Hmmm... Looks like CDC/Foundation does not include the
javax.security.auth.* packages. I'm not sure if a JAAS implementation
could be dropped on top of it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it
could. JAAS is pretty thin.
With respect to a LoginModule for 3.4, I expect we will develop
several (or explain how to use those in a typical JRE). The default
configuration will probably work with a standard format JKS/JCEKS
stored in an appropriate place for the platform (workspace, etc).
It would be good to make these login modules extensible (via extension
point perhaps) so that other bundles (e.g. ECF) can hook into login
process of an existing app that uses these login modules (e.g. Eclipse)
and (e.g.) add principals and/or credentials to Subject during login or
commit and prior to setReadOnly(). If you like, I can/could create an
enhancement request for this...let me know. I also could help with some
of the programming for such a thing if desired.
Scott
