Yes, you can ;)
The best way (IMO) to do that is to add XWiki as a maven dependency,
i.e. adding to your pom.xml something like:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<!-- XWikiAuthServiceImpl is in this package -->
<groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId>
<artifactId>xwiki-platform-oldcore</artifactId>
<version>5.4.2</version>
</dependency>
[...]
But you probably did not set up your project with maven, because all you want
is to write that single auth-class ... so for a "quick and dirty" approach ...
what you can do is:
- get the "standalone" distribution,
- unzip it somewhere
- inside the unzipped xwiki-enterprise-jetty-hsqldb-x.y.z
add all files in the webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib to the eclipse classpath
(just add all for simplicity, as we talk about "quick and dirty" ;)
Afterwards you should be able to compile your custom XWikiAuthServiceImpl class,
and place the generated class-file in the WEB-INF/classes folder
