[jira] Commented: (MGPG-1) Prompt for pass phrase if it is not supplied

["Daniel Kulp (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MGPG-1?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_87597 ] 

Daniel Kulp commented on MGPG-1:
--------------------------------


The plugin should have a "usingGpgAgent" flag or similar that would make the password completely optional.    When using the gpg agent, the agent itself will prompt for the password if necessary and securely cache it.

> The plugin should prompt for a pass phrase if one is not supplied, and should mask the input.  (The pass phrase should not be visible or stored in plain text.)
> Brian Fox suggested the plugin should detect that Maven is running in batch mode, and not prompt in that case.
