Hi Matthias and all, Initially it seemed to me that using dbus to implement KeyringProvider for new versions of Gnome would be easier for me but it turned out that the library I wanted to use had many dependencies, some of them using native libraries and I had some issues adding them to the project. I'm not very familiar with JNA but now when Matthias did the main work it was easy putting it all together even for someone like me :) I hope I didn't mess up. I put some comments in the PR. I'm not sure what else to test or what is the process now. Here is the PR: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2906
Thanks again Matthias and Laszlo and Jaroslav for help with this.
