2Native Password Manager Plugin
3==============================
4
5Prevents JOSM from saving passwords as plain text to the JOSM preferences file. Instead, uses a password manager to store the data in encrypted form.
6Supported password managers are gnome-keyring and KWallet. Apple Keychain and Windows data encryption may work, but are untested so far.
7
8The following preference keys are managed:
9 osm-server.username // API login username
10 osm-server.password // API login password
11 proxy.user // Proxy username
12 proxy.pass // Proxy password
13 oauth.access-token.key // OAuth key
14 oauth.access-token.secret // OAuth secret
15
16The keyring code from the Netbeans project is used to access the individual Password Managers. It is slightly patched, to remove Netbeans
17specific dependencies.
