This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
BugzillaConfig stores your password insecurely in $userdir/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/bugzilla.properties. Similarly for JiraConfig. This should be fixed to use the proposed keyring API instead. For compatibility, when reading old settings, read the password; save it to the keyring; and delete it from disk. You should therefore be able to delete Scrambler.scramble even if descramble is kept around for a few releases.
