Our purpose for EclipseCon is to explain Higgins usage scenarios for Eclipse
/ RCP developers.

We are also working for clients, which are using and developing a lot of
business driven RCP applications, where Identity Management is an overall
essential topic, also including mulit-tier architectures with RCP clients,
server-side JavaEE applications and in some cases standard IAM
infrastructure (e.g. like Netegrity SiteMinder).

OK, I'll see.

Great. This helps us to understand and use the RCP Identity Selector.


Bye, Jochen
