I am not that hassled by security really but I was concerned by
passphrases being stored in plain text in files -- it means you have to
know this is happening so you can ensure the file system is as locked
down as for SSH keys. Alex has changed the way things work and I just
needed to know so as to check my basic security over passphrases.

Apart from J2ME work where Eclipse is essential, I am a hardened
XEmacs / Ant / Make person coming to terms with Eclipse for general use.
the two environments have very different pros and cons so I am finding
myself switching between the two using Subversion as the communication
mechanism. Subclipse is now essential to the way I work. Thanks are
due to Mark, Alex and the others for making it work so well.
