commented
Currently, Maven 2.1.x and 2.2.x have support for storing encrypted
passwords in the server.xml file and decrypting them for authentication to a
specific maven repository. This task proposes a similar approach so that users
can store their encrypted password in the server.xml file and the SCM plugin
will decrypt and authenticate to the SCM server. I would assume this approach
would use the same Maven crypto mechanism to encrypt/decrypt the passwords.
