[equinox-dev] Equinox with OSGi security?
I would like to run Equinox with OSGi security (PermissionAdmin, ConditionalPermissionAdmin) enabled. I read the quickstart guide here: http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/documents/quickstart.php I even found some reference to a property to set that should enable security: - Declipse .security =org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.FrameworkSecurityManager However, if I just run the Equinox framework like described in the quickstart guide with that property, I still do not get any security related service. Am I missing some piece of documentation here? It should not be too hard to run with security, right?

[equinox-dev] [prov] Creating Eclipse Packages
From Ian in the committer list. There might be some input needed here from p2 if we are going to produce installers etc. Jeff Dear Eclipse Committers We would like to encourage more participation in the creation of the packages created by the Eclipse Packaging Project. The goal is to 1) encourage more cross-project testing of the existing four packages, and 2) encourage the creation of packages in addition to the existing four that were created last year. A framework for doing this was discussed at a recent Planning Council meeting http://wiki.eclipse.org/Planning_Council_Minutes_2007.11.06#Packages and this document is to provide addition details. 1. Creation of a Package To create a package a project leader or committer must agree to be a package maintainer. The package maintainer is responsible for defining the contents of the package and arrange for testing of the package. To define a package the package maintainer will need to specify the package contents based on the EPP package configuration file format http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/Configuration_File_Format. The package maintainer will need to store this file in their cvs repository and then inform the EPP team, via a bugzilla entry, the location of the file. The EPP team will then begin to automatically build the package based on the config file. 2. What can be included in a Package? · Packages must only contain code from Eclipse projects · Packages should usually only contain code from projects that have passed their 1.0 creation review, and if exceptions are found, the code must still have passed an Eclipse Release Review. · Packages should attempt to include code from a variety of projects, while maintaining a coherent theme to the package, balanced with download and install size, fitting with the desires and suggestions of the community. 3. Testing of a Package The package maintainer is responsible for testing the package. The package maintainer should arrange for a number of committers and community members to act as testers. The type and degree of testing may vary but is expected to at least confirm that all the projects basically work together with no immediate problems introduced by being packaged together. In all cases the type of testing and test cases should be documented. EPP will define a process for each package maintainer to identify that the package has been tested, the type of testing and that the package is ready for download. 4. Publishing of Packages A new web site will be created to publish the different packages. This new web site will be directly accessible from the download page. The packaging page will show all the available packages and use social networking techniques to influence the order and display of the packages. For instance, the number of time a package is download will be visible, the names of the project maintainers and testers will be associated with the project or maybe individuals can vote/recommend a package. The Eclipse Foundation will also continue to list 4-5 packages directly on the download page. How to Get Started? If you would like to create a package, we ask that you open a bugzilla request for EPP, using the ‘package content’ component. In the bugzilla bug, please specify a description of the package you would like to create, including the intended targeted user and the feature set of the package. You will then need to create a package configuration file together with the EPP team and then specify the location of the file. You will then need to create an package configuration file and then specify the location of the file. Please add this location to the bugzilla request. EPP builds the packages on a nightly basis, so once your package is defined, we will start building it. EPP is also releasing packages for each milestone and release candidate for Ganymede. If you would like your package to be built for M5, we ask that you please have it defined before February 11. We are just starting this process so your feedback and support is welcome. It will take sometime to make it perfect but the intention is to have a number of packages available in time for the Ganymede release.

Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Creating Eclipse Packages
From the discussion we have had with Markus from the EPP project (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Meeting_Week_Jan_14-18_2008#Ganymede.2C_EPP), it seems that the package configuration file EPP takes as input contains almost everything p2 needs to generate the product IU. We will quickly see if everything needed is there since we are hoping to be able to produce an installer for one or two packages for the M5 build of Ganymede.

Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200
The only support I know is in MirrorRequest#perform, but it is quite rudimentary. Essentially if the repository is local, it prefers a descriptor in canonical form (not packed/zipped), and if the repository is remote it prefers a descriptor in non-canonical form. It doesn't have any further smarts about which non-canonical form is available. Also, the pack200 processing step does a check for the unpack200 executable so it will quickly abort if unpacking is not available on the client.

Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200
right but there is the practical detail that the exe you need comes with Java 5 or later and the licensing does not likely allow you to ship just the unpack200 exe. But that is a matter for someone's legal team. As John says, the unpack support simply cares whether or not the exe is there. What we really need is an open source implementation of unpack that runs on/with Foundation... Jeff John Arthorne wrote: Just to clarify, the JRE level doesn't matter here. Unpack is performed by a standalone unpack200 executable that doesn't require presence of a JVM. You can run with a Foundation class library, plus a standalone unpack200 executable from Java 5 or Java 6. *Jim Colson [EMAIL PROTECTED]* Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01/24/2008 09:18 PM Please respond to Equinox development mailing list equinox-dev@eclipse.org To Equinox development mailing list equinox-dev@eclipse.org cc Equinox development mailing list equinox-dev@eclipse.org, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject Re: [equinox-dev] [prov] Download manager support for pack200 how would that work on J2ME (CDC/Foundatoin)?
