Externalising SCM credentials with Maven

by

For some SCM providers you can specify your credentials in the <servers> section of settings.xml. As an <id> use the domain name of your repository. This works for me with mercurial. SubVersion works too.

For example, given my pom.xml contains:

<scm>
  <connection>scm:hg:http://jukito.googlecode.com/hg/</connection>
  <developerConnection>scm:hg:https://jukito.googlecode.com/hg/</developerConnection>
  <url>http://code.google.com/p/jukito/source/browse/</url>
</scm>

Then I can specify my credentials in settings.xml as such:

<server>
  <id>jukito.googlecode.com</id>
  <username>philippe.beaudoin</username>
  <password>1234567890ABC</password>
</server>
