[jira] Commented: (MRELEASE-420) Prepare and Perform should use profile server settings

["Brill Pappin (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRELEASE-420?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=167789#action_167789 ] 

Brill Pappin commented on MRELEASE-420:
---------------------------------------

It appears the scm password is stored in plain text in the release.properties, someone one unsuspecting could actually check that into a repo that was open to the public.

This is all the more reason that the *correct* way to do it is via the profile server definitions.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Release Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: perform, prepare
>         Environment: latest in central as of this issue
>            Reporter: Brill Pappin
>            Priority: Critical

> The release plugin for some reason requires -Dusername= and -Dpassword= on the command line.
> The plugin should be using the standard profile server definitions instead (or as well as).
> Forcing the properties onto the command line is a security risk that doesn't need to be there.
