Michael Clarke commented on JENKINS-12582:
------------------------------------------
The method is definitely called, although it could fail to match a CVS root in
the file and therefore not return a password.
I'm still not a fan of requiring users use CVS pass files - it would be
possible to store password as a global Jenkins configuration and add a
paramater to each job's repository config to use this password. Would that suit
you needs?

> Jenkins' new Netbeans-based CVS-Plugin doesn't use the ".cvspass" file.
> Setting the password on every job isn't a suitable solution (huge number of
> jobs, security issues). The ".cvspass" file should be used instead.
