Thanks Kev, this is a great help also. The more standard the better ! -----Original Message----- From: Kev Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2007 3:37 AM To: Ant Users List Subject: Re: Ant scp / user/password proper management
Hi, > 2) prompt the user. But there is not option to tell ant that the > password should not be visible (seen as stars would be perfect). In the upcoming Ant 1.7.1 release you can specify a secure input handler: <input message="secure-input:>" addproperty="the.password"> <handler classname="org.apache.tools.ant.input.SecureInputHandler"/> </input> This will not echo your password out to the screen. However: 1 - It requires Java6 2 - 1.7.1 isn't officially out quite yet (give us 2 weeks or so, fingers crossed) If you have Java6 and can wait a little while, then this will be the best option.
