Hey All,

    I was driving through JIRA and noticed JAVAEE_SECURITY_SPEC-12. I was wondering if we should not prioritize this one over others. Probably after we finish our Terminology epic.

    IMO, this issue gathers an important point in respect to:

        - Centralized interface for security-related information
        - Removes redundancy and provides a more concise way to provide access to security related information
        - Helps other specs to address security in a more similar fashion

    And also looks like a core concept if we are going to take it forward.
        
    I think this issue brings one of the main reasons that make people usually decide to use frameworks such as Shiro, Spring Security or PicketLink. I think all of them provide a similar concept.

Regards.
Pedro Igor
