Since Eclipse 3.6 (I did not remember seeing it in previous versions), it is capable to store the password in your OS password store. On Mac it uses the KeyChain. There is something for windows too. For Linux it could have use KWallet or the Gnome keyring but I haven't seen any implementation. With that kind of password store, you would only have to make you OS trust Eclipse. Eclipse does have another kind of password store, but it requires a "master" password each time the it starts. But it won't help you as you restart your Eclipse often. Maybe that the one you are using ? Nicolas
