Michael Osipov commented on MCHANGES-395:
-----------------------------------------
The password is expanded at runtime. It is not persisted in your POM.
Encryption requires decryption, thus a key which has to be stored plaintext
which will give you zero benefit. Read:

> Key: MCHANGES-395
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHANGES-395
> Project: Maven Changes Plugin
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jira
> Affects Versions: 2.12.1
> Reporter: Stefan Wendelmann
> Priority: Major
>
> May it be possible to encrypt the Jira password or to ask for it from the
> console?
>
> AFAIK a there is no option in Jira to create a "special" User out of the
> licence for REST Calls so we have to use a real persons Account with his/her
> original password.
> And is the pom.xml with password saved into the jar in META-INF ? So anyone
> with winrar i.e. can read your Jira password in plaintext ?
>
> thanks in advance!
