Remember that proxy authentication is typically done using a base64 encode of "Basic " + user + ":" + pass in an http header. It is trivial to reverse this and grab your password as it travels over the network. If other people can read files in your home directory (~/build.properties is read remember), you've got greater problems.

Hello,
I am new to Maven and just trying to set up my project.
I try to compile the sources in my project by typing in "maven java:compile" (I've defined the POM).
I get an error because of unsatisfied dependencies, e.g. ant-1.5.1.jar. ( which are not dependencies defined in my POM) I've set up my own remote repository (in build.properties) and there I have version 1.5.3 of ant. Is there a chance to change the dependencies for the java goal? I don't want to put all the needed "old" jars in my remote repsoitory...
I am afraid you need them in java plugin and in many other
plugins...unless you want to write a dozens of your own maven plugins or download required dependencies manually. But then you have almost no profits from using Maven.
There would be a chance to get them from the ibiblio.org server but there I've the problem that I've to go through an proxy. The rights are very restricted in our company and it would be unsecure to put my proy password in the build.properties file. So I've to get the libs from my own remote repository.
Thank you.
You can consider making your own company-wide mirror of maven's ibiblio repository.
Note also that you can pass a password using command line option: -Dmaven.proxy.password=xxxx It is not secure as well, but still better then keeping the password in properties files.
