You could point out that Proxy Server is now obsolete/////////
discontinued...
But the replacement ISA Server probably has the same problems.

I don't know Java, but I do know the right questions, so does anyone out
there know:

If a dll was available, with a known interface, could jEdit call it?
Could this be done as a plugin?
Would it limit the JRE that could be used?

ie in the worst case could somebody write a plugin in Visual J++ to access
the authentication library, the user of which would have to be running the
MS JRE?
