We've decided to make a couple of our APIs for working with signed content
internal.provisional. Specifically, AuthorizationEngine and related classes
in org.eclipse.osgi as well as AuthorizationManager in
org.eclipse.equinox.security.ui. The APIs for examining signed content will
continue to be public - including SignedContent et al in org.eclipse.osgi,
and the mechanism for establishing trust, TrustEngine in org.eclipse.osgi.
We currently have no known clients of the API in the security.ui or of the
AuthorizationEngine in org.eclipse.osgi. At this point we are not
confident enough in the API to make the necessary API contracts required
for future releases. Once we have a good prototype of a consumer of
AuthorizationEngine/Manager, we will feel more comfortable with
establishing a public API for this function. At this point, we don't yet
have the confidence to cast the API in stone.
For reference, the following classes are now internal.provisional:
org.eclipse.osgi.internal.provisional.service.security
AuthorizationEngine
AuthorizationEvent
AuthorizationListener
AuthorizationStatus
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.security.ui.actions
SecurityContributionItemFactory
org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.security.ui.services
AuthorizationManager
We are not aware of any clients of this API and do not expect this will
effect anyone on the Eclipse team. Please let us know if you have code
which depends on these classes. Thanks.
The Equinox team.
