Hi Lie, thanks for your immediate response.

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). > The RCP ID selector and HBX are in two separate process, and I use socket > as the inter-process communication channel.
