Description

(FYI: this was already discussed on the dev mailing list)

I want to reuse the connections sub-component in a custom rcp.
Problem: When connections ui is not loaded yet, connections core will fail to operate, since it needs a IAuthHandler.

In my case, I did the following (as suggested by Stefan Seelman) just before connections core is used:
---8<-----
IAuthHandler ah = ConnectionCorePlugin.getDefault().getAuthHandler();

if ( ah == null ) {
ah = new IAuthHandler() {
public ICredentials getCredentials(
ConnectionParameter params )

{ return new Credentials( params.getBindPrincipal(), params.getBindPassword(), params ); }

};
}

ConnectionCorePlugin.getDefault().setAuthHandler( ah );
---8<-----

Of course, this works only if user already set up a valid connection through the new connection wizard.

connections core needs to be operable without ui.
