I've been working with/on a plugin for talking to github, and I'm staring at some fairly complex code for processing proxy information from settings.xml, and some slightly less complex code for obtaining and decrypting credentials from servers.
Is there a shared component in which I put this? (I don't write 'copy', because I'm not the author, and I don't know if he/she will be interesting in contributing. If not, I'll make a new one.) Relatedly, I ran into the problem of wanting to make an HTTPs connection with a host whose key had an intermediate certificate in its chain. This led me to a code snippet which installed a truststore into the global SSL context. It seemed a trifle off to me that code in one plugin could side-effect the global environment to this extent. Now, practically, I suppose that it would take a SecurityManager to prevent this; that seems a cure worse than the disease, but I wonder if others have thought upon it before. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
