We just need to add this feature to maven-scm-plugin. We could use maven-sql-plugin as an example, it can read encrypted DB password in the same manner as repository credentials.

I am using the maven release plugin and need to use some credentials on the CI server, but I don't want to store the password in clear text. Is there a way to encrypt the password and reference it in the Maven SCM plugin? I've tried using the Maven encryption guide (http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html) which works well for encrypting Maven repository credentials. The problem is that you can't (from what I've seen) reference the id for a server in the Maven SCM plugin. Here's an example of what I'd like to see in the POM: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-scm-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <username>kurt.tometich</username> <password>{encrypted password here}</password> </configuration> </plugin> Any ideas of how to do this would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
