I need to authenticate users of my uDig plugin (restricts access to a MySQL
backend and selectively disables tools/menu items according to a user's
role). The hooks for displaying a login form are ..
#1 at uDig startup: clean for the user but requires catching
UDigApplication.run() and showing the login before createAndRunWorkbench())
is called. However I don't want to make changes to the uDig platform. Is it
possible to create a new RCP application that extends uDig - it would one
contain one class that overrides and calls UDigApplication.run() after the
login.
#2 during plugin initialization: ideal but can't be done with lazy loading
of plugins. Classes within a plugin are only loaded when the UI component
(tool/menu etc) is invoked?
#3 on demand (user presses a login tool): not ideal as it requires an extra
mouse click and the menus/tools to be disabled at startup.
Any suggestions/comments?
