Hi,

This is probably a silly question but I was wondering how we protect the
content of jar files as they are being pulled from mirrors all over the
world.

Due to a recent break in the Platform class, I compiled my own version of
the Platform class where I re-added the removed method. Then I replaced it
in the plugins/o.e.c.runtime jar using 7-zip.

This solved my issue but it also made me wonder how this was protected if
some mirror-server user used the same hack to dope our jars.

I assume this is being done by p2 when downloading the jar files by
comparing some MDA hash?

Please enlighten me.

Cheers,

Wim
