See: https://github.com/ci-and-cd/maven-settings-decoder

I use it in gradle build script to avoid expose nexus password in build.gradle or environment variable.

buildscript {
  repositories {
    ...
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    ...
    classpath 'cn.home1.tools:maven-settings-decoder:1.0.5.OSS'
  }
}
...
ext.mavenSettings = new cn.home1.tools.maven.SettingsDecoder();
ext.nexusSnapshotsUser = mavenSettings.getText("//server[id='${nexus}-snapshots']/username/text()")
ext.nexusSnapshotsPass = mavenSettings.getText("//server[id='${nexus}-snapshots']/password/text()")
println "${nexus}-snapshots username: " + mavenSettings.getText("//server[id='${nexus}-snapshots']/username/text()")
println "${nexus}-snapshots password: " + mavenSettings.getText("//server[id='${nexus}-snapshots']/password/text()")
...
