In our setting.xml
file we have the following:
<servers>
<server>
<id>deploymentRepo</id>
<username>repouser</username>
<password>repopwd</password>
</server>
</servers>
Would it be possible to pass those settings (or their equivalent) via environmental variables instead of the settings.xml
?
Yes, you can do this in two ways:
settings.xml
something like this:<servers>
<server>
<id>deploymentRepo</id>
<username>${server.username}</username>
<password>${server.password}</password>
</server>
</servers>
And in the command line, pass these variables in this way:
mvn clean package -Dserver.username=yourusername -Dserver.password=yourpassword
Please note that passing password as command-line options is a security issue and therefore prefer the second option.
export SERVER_USERNAME=yourusername
) SERVER_USERNAME
and SERVER_PASSWORD
variables, you can use like this:<servers>
<server>
<id>deploymentRepo</id>
<username>${env.SERVER_USERNAME}</username>
<password>${env.SERVER_PASSWORD}</password>
</server>
</servers>
