Hello,

I'm using NB 8.1/8.2/dev on Arch Linux.

When starting NetBeans, I'm asked for the master password, with the following hint:

"The IDE can remember passwords for you, protected by a master password. If you have not chosen one yet, do so now; you will be prompted for it in subsequent sessions when needed. You can also change the master password whenever you are prompted for it."

The passwords will be stored in some keystore. I've found the following related link: http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqMasterPasswordDialog

Obviously, in releases 7.x, setting the master password could be optionally enabled. Since 8.x it seems to be required.

However, as the document contains the following phrase: "[...] as of NetBeans 6.9 the IDE tries to use your operating system's native facility to store passwords.", using either password store should not be specified by netbeans, but by underlying OS instead. But I don't now if either keystore could be disabled on a per-application-basis.

However, NetBeans looks for available keystores and sorts them according to a position number - kwallet having position number 99, keyring having 100, so kwallet "wins".

You could set "netbeans.keyring.no.native=true", then neither should be used.

However, I don't see any possibility in the current code, to switch the keystore used. You could implement a property to switch the keystore, my personal favorite would be "org.netbeans.modules.keyring.preferredKeystore" (a preferred keystore allows to find some other, if it is not available). The code should be added to api the "keyring" module (class "Keyring" could store both results and return the preferred one, if found).

Kind regards
Peter

Hello List,

Whenever I start netbeans-8.0.2 the KDE Wallet is launched and regardless of the look-and-feel, GTK+ or otherwise. How can I stop this from happening? My Os is Ubuntu Linux 17.10.

Regards,
