How to make release:prepare ask for password?
How can I make the release-plugin ask for a password when it needs it, rather than having to either a) provide it as a property when building, or b) putting it in a settings.xml file or equivalent. I don't like the fact that I have to have the password stored in a batch history file somewhere, or in a settings.xml file everybody knows where is...

Hi, you can encrypt passwords in settings.xml: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html.

RE: How to make release:prepare ask for password?
That doesn't really answer my question though - that's just a replacement of a plain text password by an encrypted one. The value of that isn't really high when it requires the master password to be stored in a different file IMHO, but that's a different discussion all together. I want to be asked for password when one is required - that way NO passwords are stored longer than they have to.

Don't think you can have it ask for the password, but you can provide it as a Java (system) property on command-line. mvn release:prepare -Dpassword=blabla /Anders On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 11:52 AM, Magne Nordtveit m...@offsim.no wrote: How can I make the release-plugin ask for a password when it needs it, rather than having to either a) provide it as a property when building, or b) putting it in a settings.xml file or equivalent.

RE: How to make release:prepare ask for password?
That puts us back to having the password stored in some bash history file, in plain text... Looks like I might have to put in for a feature request.

Feature requests are good.

Re: How to make release:prepare ask for password?
If this is related to your Nexus authentication, 2.1 is an awesome release with regards to this. They introduced an API token authentication approach, so that you won't be handing over the keys to the castle if someone compromises your API token password. We are using it with encryption as well, and are storing the master settings-security.xml in a secure location, pointing to it with a relocation tag in the HOME/.m2/settings-security.xml file. If you are already in linux, simply chmod go-rwx it. Also, use SSL as a connection, so that the password cannot be sniffed. Again, that might be overkill since it isn't a system account password. If this is for your SCM, you may want to consider git instead of svn. You can use an ssh key with that, and will allow you to connect without revealing a password.
