Restrict OSGi console to specific network address

[horombo]

Is there a way to bind the Equinox OSGi console to a specific network address? Actually it binds to all addresses (0.0.0.0). Binding the console only to localhost (for example) would at least prevent remote access.

I'm using 2.0.0.M2 and the latest snapshots.

By the way: dm Server rocks!

A short look into the source of org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.Framework Console which is used in dm Server's kernel class EquinoxOsgiFramework indicates that the network address to bind to can not be set. It seems that the use of the console is for development only.

Please feel free to raise a user story for binding the console to a particular address, but note that dm Server uses the Equinox console and so implementing that user story would require a change to Equinox too and so is unlikely to get much priority.
