There are a couple of ways around that. 1) Use settings-security.xml <relocation> to store the real settings-security.xml on a removable device. 2) It would be nice if Maven supported a keyserver of some kind (cf. Pageant for Putty), but it does not. However one can use the <relocation> element to point to a server that returns the passwords. I wrote a Java app that acts as a simple keyserver; of course that needs its own password. If the device is not present, or the server is not running, you get a warning message when starting Maven builds. [When using the keyserver I normally give it a dummy password, as that avoids the time delay when Maven looks for the server; however one still gets warnings] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
