According to the maven SCM integration documentation it seems that the svn-settings.xml file only allows these parameters:

• configDirectory
• useCygwinPath
• cygwinMountPath
• useNonInteractive

If you do not want to put the password in the pom.xml you can pass it as a command line parameter

in the pom.xml:

<connectionUrl>scm:svn:http://my_username@my_hostname/im-tools-repos/trunk</connectionUrl>

And when invoking maven:

mvn -Dpassword=my_password scm:status
