I have a few repositories that require username/password for publishing and
sometimes for reading. In this case, its a webserver doing a basic auth
challenge on an HTTP connection.

If I try to connect to such a subversion repository with a command line tool
like svn, it can prompt for username/password. If I use a plugin such as
Subclipse, it will display a popup to prompt. The user doesn't have to edit
a file somewhere and leave a username/password on disk if they don't want to
(or when it might not be allowed due to security policy).

I was wondering if it would be possible in someway to extend IvyDE to behave
similar to subclipse in that it could prompt for username password.

(I'm not sure, but it seems like it might require something more general -
like registering username/password resolvers with the Ivy instance (one
might be textui, one might be eclipse ui, one might be look it up in a file)
and have resolvers and publishers etc, ask the these pluggable
authentication pieces?)

It depends on what kind of username/passwd you really need and how you
configure Ivy. Could you be more explicit?
