Creating/retrieving encrypted passwords for bamboo java specs

[m kalksma]

We are migrating all our build plans to Bamboo Java specs and face the issue of managing passwords in this way. 

For example a tomcat or SCP task we can manually setup the task in the UI and view the plan as Bamboo Java Specs to extract the encrypted password.

Is there any other way, or in the pipeline, to extract those passwords? For example when a password changes we first have to manually build the build plan again so we can retrieve the updated encrypted password. Which mostly goes against the principle of using Bamboo Specs.

Is there maybe a Maven goal or something similar that can be used to encrypt a plaintext password so we can include it in our builds?
