title: encrypt maven passwords within eclipse using m2e
body: <p>There is a really nice guide on the maven site about how to encrypt passwords that get stored within POM files located at <a href="http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html" rel="nofollow">http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html</a></p>
  
  <p>Can these operations be done within eclipse using the m2e plugin, or must I have my guys download maven before they can create encrypted passwords and master passwords?</p>
