[PATCH] hook for new plugin (native password manager)

[bastiK]

The patch moves the osm-password related code to a central static object. This allowes the upcoming plugin for gnomekeyring and KWallet support to provide its own password handling backend.
So far this shouldn't change any visible behaviour.

[stoecker]

The code got a bit out of sync. Could you please update it to current SVN.

[bastiK]

sure

[stoecker]

One note regarding future extensions - Handling the server URL in the password mechanism may be a good idea as well, so different passwords could be managed for test and development servers.

Also the openstreetbugs plugin needs password management :-)

[bastiK]

You can have two .josm folders and run

$ java -Djosm.home=~/.josm_dev -jar josm-custom.jar

Isn't this more straightforward than complicated GUI?

And for openstreetbugs: I couldn't find anything like registration or so. Maybe this is going to change?

[stoecker]

I don't know what is best. But password managers can manage different password sets, so it seems a sensible idea to me :-)

[bastiK]

make not only password and username part of credentials management, but also the osm server url

[bastiK]

Ok, in one way or another it might be a good idea to include the server url.

Here we go.
