Hiding Ant Input
I've got an ant build script that I've added a new deployment target to. I've got it using scp to deploy to a remote host, and I have everything working the way I want, except when IntelliJ pops open the dialog for my Input task (wherein, I ask for the password), the Input dialog is not aware it's a password, and should be doing **** instead of "the password in plain text, for all to see".
I've tried looking for a task in Ant like 'secretInput' or 'password', but can't find it. Is there a trick in IntelliJ ?
My task looks like this:
]]>
and I need the "user password" task to prompt for input, but mask the input.
Thanks.

Not IDEA-specific, but if you're using Ant 1.7 then you can create your
own implementation of the org.apache.tools.ant.input.InputHandler
interface and specify its use with a element nested in your ]]> element. Your InputHandler can show whatever UI it likes.
HTH.

Thanks Mark,
I managed to find someone who had done just that: com.jera.anttasks.Query
