Hello, Before I do any coding or trials I would like to clear some GPG4Win questions.
Atsuhiko Yamanaka made an excellent Eclipse SSH agent plugin (https://github.com/ymnk/jsch-agent-proxy) to proxy SSH agents to Eclipse subsystems. Currently it supports ssh-agent on Linux and Pageant on Windows. As of GPG4Win 2.2 the gpg-agent.exe can function as an SSH agent for Putty. It would be just awesome to be able to use gpg-agent.exe in Eclipse. For that, a connector needs to be developed but first I would like to get information on how could I "talk to" the gpg-agent.exe? The Pageant connector uses Win32 shared memory operations. My question might sound silly, but is there anything that would prevent me writing a connector that uses the same Win32 shared memory operations based protocol? I also recognized that on Windows an S.gpg-agent.ssh file is created in the users roaming AppData (C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\gnupg\S.gpg-agent.ssh), that pretty much resembles a Unix socket. As far as I know there is no such compatible domain socket on Windows, but what is this file then? Thank you for your help.
