Weston Bustraan commented on SCM-763:
-------------------------------------
[~michael-o], you are correct, the regex does treat the ending double quote as
part of the password in your example; you would probably need a more complex
routine or regex to perfectly handle that. However, the string produced by the
password masking isn't intended to actually be executed by the OS; it is just
printed on stdout for the user to see. The goal is to prevent the password from
being printed to the log output and I believe that it still accomplishes that
goal better than the original implementation.

> Key: SCM-763
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SCM-763
> Project: Maven SCM
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: maven-scm-provider-svn
> Affects Versions: 1.9
> Environment: Jenkins 1.502 on a SLES11
> Reporter: Tobias Kalmes
> Priority: Major
>
> Passwords are not masked in the log output on Linux machines. The masking
> works as intended on Windows machines. On linux machines tho the password is
> printed in clear text. This seems to be a problem due to the additional
> single quotes that are added around the parameters on linux machines.
