Oh, speaking of this, we wanted to be able to use the registry for this so our users don't have to specify the -Dsun.security.jgss.lib on the command-line. The JDK does have a generic interface to the registry, the Preferences interface and its implementations, but because some implementations have support for remote stores, it depends on all of security/ being built first, which means I couldn't use it :/ There are places where there is native C/C++ code to use the registry because of this, and I thought of copying that pattern. But I never got around to doing that. It'd be nice if Preferences, or a cut-down version for private in-JDK use, supported access to local prefs from security components of the JDK. I'm not entirely sure how to make that happen, but it would be a good project for someone, I'm sure :) Nico --
