How can I use an Encrypted Password to a Maven Repository in Gradle

Question

I\'m currently trying to transisiton a maven build to a Gradle build. The show stopper hurdle I\'ve hit is that our internal artifacts are deployed to an internal repositor

Answer 1

The gradle-credentials plugin will let you encrypt the contents of a gradle.encrypted.properties file, which will then be available in the build as properties of the credentials object.

The gradle maven settings plugin will let you use Maven's system for encrypting/decrypting credentials.

Answer 2

We use Artifactory and Ivy's CredentialsStore works fine.

repositories {
  org.apache.ivy.util.url.CredentialsStore.INSTANCE.addCredentials(REALM, HOST, USER, PASSWORD);
  mavenRepo urls: [ "http://repo.mycompany.com/repo" ]
}

To have each developer use a different username create a gradle.properties file that contains

HOST=repo.mycompany.com
REALM=My Company Realm
USER=theusername
PASSWORD={DESede}xyz123abc

The {DESede} encrypted password prefix may be a Artifactory specific convention.
