Description

Trying to encrypt server password (mvn --encrypt-password blabla) with Maven 3.0-alpha6 and having %USER_HOME%/.m2/settings-security.xml, I get a FileNotFoundException saying that %USER_HOME%/.settings-security.xml can't be found.

Why has the name and location of this file change in Maven 3? It's not backwards compatible with Maven 2 as promised.
