[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21716?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13165267#comment-13165267 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-21716:
---------------------------------------------

main issue is how we get the password from the installer to eclipse in a secure manner.  

eclipse itself will store it in its secure storage that is different based on the OS.

We'll need to get node.js to talk to eclipse secure storage mechanism to solve this, but even then - the user can start a new workspace and he'll be asked again.

So that will fail most times too.

Best thing I can think of is in the case of starting eclipse from the installer we can start it in an environment where the password is in an environment variable ...then it is at least not easily available; but it will only work the very first time.

> Having installed JBDS and CDK from the installer, and entered your password there, you get re-prompted for your password for the customer portal. This is a poor user experience.
