I tried to add some info the the "Handling Credentials" page, as some things were quite unclear for me when I first read it (knowing nothing at all about the topic then) - It wasn't clear to me if we can use the Credentials Plugin solution everywhere, or only when the plugin supports the Credentials Plugin directly. It seems the latter, so I added that explicitely. - It seems we have two problems to solve, clear text passwords in the dsl scripts themselves, and clear text passwords in the job configs? First is absolute worst case, second is still bad, but not as bad, and not avoidable if Credentials Plugin is not supported? - I got completely confused by the mention of "Credentials Binding Plugin" in the "Credentials Plugin" section talking about build variables, but then there is another section "Build Variables", which mentions "EnvInject Plugin" - And I think an option is missing, instead of using "EnvInject Plugin" in the seed job (option 2), we could also use it in the generated job itself. That would be similar to first option, in that no credentials are ever exposed to the dsl script.
