> Obfuscating properties.xml entries would be designed to prohibit casual
> acquisition of database passwords.
> The proposal would be to have a dual property fetch, as follows. For a
> potentially-obfuscated property "x", the code would first look for
> "x.obfuscated". If that property was found, it would de-obfuscate the
> results. If not found, it would look for the property "x", and use those
> results un-obfuscated.
> The full implementation of this ticket will also require support for
> command-line invocation of the Obfuscate class, so that obfuscated passwords
> can be generated. The scripts supporting this would be delivered in a manner
> similar to that of the scripting engine.
