I am trying to come up with a way to streamline logging in my various characters, and an idea I had was to usurp the launcher and pass my own SSO token to the client.

First and foremost, is this against the EULA? I would only be accessing my own accounts, and would not be modifying the client in any way, only generating an SSO token to supply as an execution parameter to ExeFile.exe.

Second question: if this is not a rules violation, how would one go about generating such a token? Preferably in Java.

(Before anyone asks, no I will not be storing passwords locally, nor would I be trying to gain access to something I shouldn't be.)

Sigh. Well, as I like my accounts I think I'll leave this alone until they get back to us. It'd be nice if they could share what legal problems are preventing them from discussing this.

I mean, if the problem is just the liability issues of someone stealing account information with such a utility then I should be fine as long as I don't distribute. Or it could be something else entirely.

I wouldn't expect any word about it in the future either, it's probably one of those numerous legal issues where the EULA is deliberately written rather strict in order to cover all potential problem cases but is never actually enforced cause CCP doesn't care unless you're doing something blatantly bad. But for silly legal reasons they can't and won't ever tell you directly that they really don't care.
