Description

remoteRepository only recognizes '<authentication username="username" password="password"/>'.
I would expect it to recognize '<authentication username="username"/>' and then read the password (based on the repository id) from my settings.xml.
Also doesn't recognize '<authentication username="username" privateKey="${home}/.ssh/private_key_file"/>'. Still prompts for password. Although, it will fail if the path specified does not exist.
If I leave out the authentication altogether, it prompts for my login password, even if it is specified in my .m2/settings.xml file.

My ant build file looks like this (with the various authentication items I've tried):

<target name="mvn.init">
	  <artifact:remoteRepository id="releases" url="scp://server/NEXUS/sonatype-work/nexus/storage/releases">
		    <authentication username="nexus" privateKey="${user.home}/.ssh/id_dsa"/>  OR
		    <authentication username="nexus"/>  OR
		    <authentication username="nexus" password="encryptedPassword"/>  OR
		    <authentication username="nexus" password="password"/>  THIS IS THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKS
	  </artifact:remoteRepository>

	    <artifact:install-provider groupId="org.apache.maven.wagon"
				       artifactId="wagon-ssh"
				       version="1.0-beta-7">
	    </artifact:install-provider>
</target>

<target name="deploy.artifacts" depends="mvn.init,compile.all">
	    <echo>Deploying artifacts to Nexus:</echo>
	    
	    <echo>- deploying ${artifact}</echo>
	    <artifact:pom id="mypom" groupId="${groupId}" artifactId="${artifactId}" version="${version}" packaging="${type}"/>
	    <artifact:writepom pomRefId="mypom" file="mypom.xml"/>  HAD TO DO THIS BECAUSE IT USES A BOGUS finalName IF I JUST USE A REFID BELOW.
	   
	    <artifact:deploy file="${file}">
		    <pom file="mypom.xml"/>
		    <remoteRepository refid="releases"/>
	    </artifact:deploy>
	    
	    <!-- Remove dynamic pom -->
	    <delete file="mypom.xml"/>
</target>

And my settings.xml looks like this:

<settings>
    <servers>
        <server>
            <id>releases</id>
            <username>username</username>
            <password>password</password>
        </server>
    </servers>
</settings>
