[Hawkular-dev] Fwd: Introducing 'osc login'

[Heiko W.Rupp]

Could this "osc login" flow serve as a blueprint for us when configuring 
external feeds? Like
providing such a tool and then some "base classes" (*) that the feed can 
use to read the data?


*) This of course depends on programming language etc.
