I think Eclipse is providing the popup.

Which Eclipse are you using ?
Since Eclipse 3.6 (I did not remember seeing it in previous versions), =
it is capable to store the password in your OS password store. On Mac it =
uses the KeyChain. There is something for windows too. For Linux it =
could have use KWallet or the Gnome keyring but I haven't seen any =
implementation. With that kind of password store, you would only have to =
make you OS trust Eclipse.
Eclipse does have another kind of password store, but it requires a =
"master" password each time the it starts. But it won't help you as you =
restart your Eclipse often. Maybe that the one you are using ?
