How to configure Jenkins (Hudson) with gpg signature

Question

I'm in the process of transitioning to Maven (from Ant) and want to automatically sign my artifacts with a GPG in the Jenkins job.

From the documents that I've read, I need to manually run Maven to sign the documents

$ mvn clean deploy -Dgpg.passphrase=yourpassphrase

How do I do this without revealing the passphrase?

Is it possible?

I saw this SO question, but there's no indication of how to configure the Jenkins Job / Maven POM: Where to keep a GPG secret key for a Maven project in CI environment?

I have generated the GPG key on the same server that runs Jenkins.
