Yeah, plain text is kinda scary. Funny how it all works tho, ya know.
You could have
encryption up the wazoo and end up being less secure than user/pass in
human readable
format.
I still haven't RTFM'ed the Eclipse keyring... but I assume since
you can specify the
file and phrase you could have each plugin (maybe even each user) have
it's own
keyring, but the API could be nifty enough to make that not needed or
whatnot.
I recently discovered Serious Samurize. Nifty thing fer windows; more
random custom
.dll's are handed out than candy to kiddies on halloween. Since you're a
text type you
are immune but it is a little scary. And yet, it beckons me, like those
chicks that sing
songs and wreck ships...
