#317 Plugin repeatedly displays 'applet alert' dialogs
This glitch is not present in net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_2.2.8.201103071259.zip, but IS present in net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_2.2.9.201106170733.zip.
Every time a file access attempt is made, and every time an environment variable is read, an 'Applet Alert' dialog appears, asking for permission to continue.
I am running the plugin with latest JRE/Eclipse on SLED10 Linux.
This constant popup of dialogs (sometimes several) makes the plugin unusable, so I have downgraded to the previous version.
I can reproduce this problem on other machines, just by doing a fresh install of eclipse, followed by an install of the CC plugin.
I have tried to disable all security in the java policy, but as a C++ developer, I'm not that familiar with java, and its security configuration.
Hi,
Thanks for using the plug-in.
1. Do you use the same JRE and Eclipse with net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_2.2.8.201103071259.zip as well as net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_2.2.9.201106170733.zip ?
2. What do you mean by "file access attempt is made". Is it when you open a file in the Editor?
3. Please provide a log file when this occurs. It can be found at ${WORKSPACE}/.metadata/.log
4. Also do "java -version" in an xterm window.

1. Do you use the same JRE and Eclipse with
net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_2.2.8.201103071259.zip as well as
net.sourceforge.eclipseccase_2.2.9.201106170733.zip ?
Yes.
Each time, a fresh extraction of the archive: eclipse-cpp-indigo-incubation-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz, followed by installation of the clearcase plugin. I have checked the paths of the executing JRE, using 'ps -ef'
2. What do you mean by "file access attempt is made". Is it when you open
a file in the Editor?
No, opening files is ok.
On eclipse startup, for example, a popup dialog appears when the plugin does a getenv() to obtain CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP. Likewise, whenever the plugin does what are presumably direct file accesses.
The dialog is titled '- APPLET ALERT -'.
There is then a message in the dialog:
"The applet is attempting to invoke the java/lang/System.getenv() operation on CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP'
There are three options 'Allow', 'Disallow', 'Stop Applet'.
Similar security dialogs appear for 'commentHistory.xml', and during various file operations.
I have also tried editing the policy file for the java VM to disable applet security:
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
in policy file.
I have tried fresh installs again with both versions of the plugin. I can confirm that this still only happens with the newer version.
3. Please provide a log file when this occurs. It can be found at
${WORKSPACE}/.metadata/.log
Will attach below.
4. Also do "java -version" in an xterm window.
java version "1.6.0_26"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_26-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.1-b02, mixed mode)
Workspace Log on newest plugin version (Installed using web link in eclipse software mgr)
- Have 2.2.9 installed.
- Remove .metadata directory removed.
- Restart Eclipse
- Reimport projects and Associate with ClearCase,
If problem please attatch .log.
I would recommend you to use "Update Manager " and use our update site to install new versions. http://eclipse-ccase.sourceforge.net/update/

Looking at the log file that you have specified, I appear to be getting exceptions that relate to code being injected into the JAR file by the Trend Micro firewall that our corporate IT department seem to have installed.
I suspect that this is somehow interfering with the security mechanism that is used by java to verify the JAR integrity.
Thank you very much for your assistance in finding this, and for providing this very useful piece of software.

Hi,
I learned something interesting what was useful for future issues. Hope that you like plugin and can contribute to its involvement.

Firewall was the problem.
