This presentation will demonstrate the new and noteworthy features in Ganymede related to security. We will first cover the new Secure Storage feature, which allows for the protection of sensitive data such as user passwords. Next we will cover Trusted Bundles, a mechanism for doing authorization of bundles based on the code signer. Finally we will look at the Login Framework, an integration of the Java Authentication and Authorization Service into the Eclipse platform.

Plug-ins are everywhere in Eclipse so come learn about how to develop them! Depending on the audience, for the first half of the talk, I will discuss what a plug-in is and what tooling is provided around developing plug-ins. For the second half, I will discuss tips and tricks that can save you time in developing plug-ins and will also talk about some lesser known, but extremely useful, parts of PDE.

This presentation was recorded at Eclipse Day at the Googleplex on June 24, 2008.

Security is an important concern for applications written on top of Equinox and the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. Spanning areas such as protection of sensitive user data, authentication of platform users and authorization of bundle code, Eclipse has a growing list of features to support important security related use cases. In this session, we will cover the new enhancements related to security in the Ganymede release of Eclipse and Equinox. In particular, we will discuss the following new features:

• Secure storage – protecting sensitive data (e.g. passwords) using encryption
• Trusted Bundles – denying the loading of bundles based on signer information
• Login Framework – integrating authentication of users based on JAAS

The format of the webinar will be a presentation plus some live demos, and will be similar in nature to those presented at the security-related EclipseCon sessions in March. Attendees should be familiar with the fundamentals of Java security and with the core concepts of Eclipse RCP and the Equinox framework. .

This video screencast shows a simplified example of Equinox services in action. It shows declarative services being dynamically discovered using a service tracker that updates the user interface to show the services that are available. The example also shows Equinox declarative services and the JFace databinding APIs in use.

This video screencast briefly describes Equinox services and goes through the steps required to create and run a service using the Equinox Declarative Services (in incubation at the time of recording).

The Eclipse Rich AJAX Platform (RAP) allows developers to create AJAX-enabled Web applications using the OSGi standard component model. The main advantage of this technology is the ability to share the same Java code base for RCP and RIA applications.

This webinar will teach you about RAP's building blocks and how they compare with RCP, and how RAP fits into the overall Eclipse runtime. Jochen will demo how you can quickly create AJAX Web applications using known Eclipse development methods.
