How does MercurialEclipse store passwords?

Question

I'm using Eclipse with Mercurial Eclipse extension to connect to our cvs repositories. I know this extension doesn't use the Eclipse Secure Storage to store passwords so I would like to find out the actual way it uses to assess our system's security. I don't want plain text passwords hanging around my system.
