clear-text passwords for settings.xml password security
     * [MNG-4145] - switch to released versions of plexus-sec-dispatcher
(and by ext. plexus-cipher) once they're available

** Bug
     * [MNG-2258] - Wrong execution order of plugins in same phase
     * [MNG-3401] - Plugin parameters must be specified outside an
execution block when they are invoked from the command line

     * [MNG-4146] - password security doesn't work with custom password
providers

http wagon (maybe with lightweight one too)
     * [MNG-4166] - Problem parsing command-line options in release:perform

in case of extension/dependency for report-plugin to reactor-project
     * [MNG-4207] - Plugins that use ArtifactResolver with http
repositories AND depend on log4j run into ExceptionInInitializerError
     * [MNG-4213] - preemptive auth in non-lightweight http wagon causes
Unauthorized responses from some servers
     * [MNG-4219] - update plexus-utils to avoid leaking processes in

** Improvement
