Putting your sourceforge password in either
project.properties or build.properties causes me
security concerns.

I'd like to be able to be prompted for a password.

Thanks,
Mike

    You can always run maven with the parameter
    -Dmaven.sourceforge.password=xxxx, eg:
    maven -Dmaven.sourceforge.password=xxxx sourceforge:deploy-dist

    This way your password is never stored in a file

    If you do it this way, it will be in your shell history file
    and also show up in the process list. The true way to deal
    with secure passwords is to prompt for them, which I have
    seen other maven plugins do.
