= Problem description  =
+
 
+
If the following exception is shown when starting the client, you need to add an additional dependency to the corresponding UI product (Swing and/or SWT):
+
<blockquote>
+
''!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.net 4 0 2012-11-29 13:20:12.795 !MESSAGE Unable to locate secure storage module (org.eclipse.equinox.security.windowspasswordprovider).<br>!STACK 0 org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.StorageException: Unable to locate secure storage module (org.eclipse.equinox.security.windowspasswordprovider).''
+
 
+
''at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.security.storage.PasswordProviderSelector.findStorageModule(PasswordProviderSelector.java:190)<br>[snip]''
+
</blockquote>
+
 
+
= Steps  =
+
 
+
#Go to the Swing or SWT UI project and open the product file
+
#Go to the "Dependencies" tab
+
#Click on "Add"
+
#Search for "org.eclipse.equinox.security.win32.x86"
+
#Click on OK and Save the file<br>[[Image:PasswordProviderExceptionPlugin.png]]
+
#Go to the "Overview" tab
+
#Click on Synchronise
+
#Launch the application from the product file<br>[[Image:PasswordProviderExceptionProduct.png]]

Launching the client now should no longer throw the exception.
