Description

Currently, encrypted passwords can only be used in the <servers> section.
It would be nice if plugins could declare fields of type Password instead of String, on which password decryption would be attempted. There are many examples of plugins that require passwords or passphrases, such as maven-gpg-plugin or maven-jarsigner-plugin.
