Great news! Our attempts at handling authentication in p2 were not very 
successful due to interaction with java.net.Authenticator, and the 
cumbersome pattern of catching exceptions, trying to guess if they are 
authentication failures, prompting and then retrying. Hopefully pushing 
this down into ECF will make life easier for all clients of ECF including 
p2.

Subject
[equinox-dev] [sec] use of Equinox secure storage






ECF has begun some work on using the new Equinox secure storage to 
persist ECF IDs (which are used by ECF to uniquely identify users, 
accounts, services, remote resources, other things).  After Ganymede, we 
expect this to be usable for (e.g.) automatic login to remote accounts, 
single-sign on, local storage of user-data/properties by accounts, etc.

For those that are interested, please see/join bug:
