is it possible to read server credentials from the settings.xml within a pom.xml? I would like to download files as described here, but avoid to put the credentials in version control.
Thanks in ahead!

- Why not using maven-dependency-plugin or wagon-maven-plugin which will use credentials from settings.xml file.khmarbaise– khmarbaise2013-09-27 10:37:59 +00:00Commented Sep 27, 2013 at 10:37
- maven wagon is very slow, I want to download a whole bunch of files so the wagon keeps me waiting too long.philipp– philipp2013-09-27 11:04:37 +00:00Commented Sep 27, 2013 at 11:04
- Have you tried to use the download goal? And what does slow mean in comparsion to what ?khmarbaise– khmarbaise2013-09-27 18:17:50 +00:00Commented Sep 27, 2013 at 18:17
- I tried the download goal with my local ftp server and it left me waiting telling me: »scanning remote filesystem«, until I just aborted it. I am trying to download about 30MB of files, many small files…philipp– philipp2013-09-28 12:21:38 +00:00Commented Sep 28, 2013 at 12:21

I think what you are looking for is profile based properties like shown below:
<profile> <id>jira</id> <properties> <jiraUser>user</jiraUser> <jiraPassword>password</jiraPassword> </properties> </profile> You may reference these with ${jiraUser} and {jiraPassword} in your POM. Make sure to activate the profile in your settings.xml.

that seems to be the only way… It is not what I had in mind, but that is maven…
What do you mean by settings.xml within a pom.xml (Sorry admin for Posting this in Answers instead of comments, since I cant add comments I am doing this in Answers)

I mean: There is the ~/.m2/settings.xml used by maven to store credentials for servers. This file is independent from each pom.xml which is normally managed by a version control system. To prevent passwords from being distributed in teams.
