Description

added -ssec as cli param, so that you have the same flexibility to place your settings-security.xml as you have to point to a custom settings.xml file

mvn -s /path/to/my/custom/settings.xml -ssec /path/to/my/custom/settings-security.xml

I attached to patches: one that can be run on the maven-3.0.4 tag and one that can be run on trunk (latest code state of today).
I also attached a maven-3.0.4-bin.zip (linux) so you can quickly try out the feature and test it yourself.

if you like the idea, I would welcome to have this feature merged into one of the next releases. I need it to write a puppet-maven module that allows to download artifacts from maven repositories with encrypted passwords in the puppet recipe.
