Re: [buckminster-dev] Adding username and password to maven provider
|
Hi Alan,
I think this sounds like a good idea. Please enter a bugzilla for it.
I'm looking forward to your patch.

I'd like to add username and password properties to the maven provider
so that those credentials can be passed in the connection to the maven
repositories. This is driven by the fact that, at work, we no longer
have anonymous access to our maven repo.
I know this can be done by putting them in the URL but if I do, then any
failed connections are visible in the debug output with the username and
password. This is particularly a problem on the hudson build server,
whose maven login should not be visible to all.
I'd like to suggest two optional property elements that can be children
of the mavenProvider element in the rmap, with key="maven.username" and
key="maven.password".
These properties will need to be expandable from the query scope, as I
expect users will supply their username and password from the properties
file given in the cquery.
This would then be used to create the connection context, in preference
to the url if the properties are present.
I'll put a patch together if that's okay, in the next couple of days.
Regards
Alan
