Repository passwords

[Niranjan Rao <nh...@gmail.com>]

Hi Folks,

I know we can store the repository passwords in settings.xml in ~/.m2 
directory.

In our case, this is turning out to be bit difficult. Our settings.xml 
has some interesting configuration and rather than asking every 
developer to duplicate it in his/her machine, we commit one file and use 
"maven -s" flag to point to right file.

I am wondering where can we save the repository passwords in this case? 
Can we use global settings file or any environment variable?

Thanks,

Niranjan

Does this bit of documentation [1] help solve your problem?

There are two locations where a settings.xml file may live:
The Maven install: $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml
A user's install: ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml
The former settings.xml are also called global settings, the latter
settings.xml are referred to as user settings. If both files exists,
their contents gets merged, with the user-specific settings.xml being
dominant.
