Hi Russel,

From the manual I see things like:
repository(url: "ssh://localhost/tmp/myRepo/") {
authentication(userName: "me", password: "myPassword")
which implies having a username and password in the Gradle file.
This
has to be "bad news". Maven stores information in ~/.m2/
settings.xml,
shouldn't Gradle do something analogous?
Of course we don't expect our users to store passwords in the build
script. What you would do, is to use a gradle.properties placed in
USER_HOME/.gradle.
You would write for example:
repoUser=me
repoPassword=pw
In your build script you can access this properties like normal
script
variables.
authentication(userName: repoUser, password: repoPassword)
On the one hand, I should say "Doh!" -- the solution is blindingly
obvious and quite right. Sorry I didn't think of it before emailing.
On the other hand I think this idiom needs writing about in the user
document -- I don't think the document should show any use of password
literals in Gradle files that are part of projects.
I agree.
