Alas my friend! I think we have identified an unresolvable trade-off. On the one hand, if we tap into the operating system's framework for managing users we will likely loose are ability to be truly cross-platform. On the other hand, if we design an independent (and cross-platform) solution to user management just for OpenJUMP we loose the synchronization with the operating systems users. I'm not sure if there is a solution that addresses both of these issues, nor am I sure which of the techniques described above is the one to pursue. There may not be one technique that is "better" than the other. However, if you distribute a flavor of OpenJUMP for just one operating system, you might implement a solution that doesn't need to be cross-platform. I think this would be fairly easy to do with a plug-in or two.
