Wendy Smoak commented on MRELEASE-340:
--------------------------------------
This can be a major issue in corporate environments with strict security rules.
In a single sign-on environment, exposing a password in plain text may
compromise not only the source code repository, but all other systems the user
has access to.
> Don't store the scm password in plaintext in release.properties
