Description mkovtun 2010-01-15 14:33:58 UTC 
If passwords for Maven repositories in .m2/settings.xml are encrypted using techniques from http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html, NetBeans is unable to access repositories.

The encrypted passwords work well with Maven, and from NetBeans if NetBeans invokes mvn to perform operation.

However, if NetBeans tries to access Maven repository directly (for example, when "Download Missing Dependencies", "Download Javadoc", "Download Sources" from context menu on "Libraries" is invoked), the login attempt fails, and nothing is downloaded. Worse, no message indicating why nothing was downloaded is displayed.

yes, unfortunately this doesn't work with the version of the maven embedder we are using. Shall start working after migrating to maven3

Milos, does your answer apply to all settings in settings.xml, or only to password encryption?  I'm having a problem with mirror settings not being respected, and I'm wondering if I should file a separate bug or if it's the same issue as this one.

If it applies to settings.xml in general then I suggest changing the title of this bug.

Reassigning to default owner.
Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2010-08-02 14:58:41 UTC 
Just make a duplicate of bug #188871 if it is in fact solved by using the M3 embedder.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2010-09-17 20:59:43 UTC 
Maybe works in current 6.10 development builds, though I don't have a password-protected repo to test with.
