Not quite sure if I understand what your problem is, but once you put
something in the Jelly context, you have access to it in your other
goals. So, taking the example you presented above, you could just do
something like this (no need to tokenize, just use a real list):
<goal name="init">
<!-- Create a property object -->
<j:new var="component1" className="java.util.Properties"/>
<j:set var="dummy" value="${component1.setProperty('dir', 'directory1')}"/>
<j:set var="dummy" value="${component1.setProperty('name', 'name1')}"/>
<!-- Create another property object -->
<j:new var="component2" className="java.util.Properties"/>
<j:set var="dummy" value="${component2.setProperty('dir', 'directory2')}"/>
<j:set var="dummy" value="${component2.setProperty('name', 'name2')}"/>
<!-- Save the property objects into a list -->
<j:new var="components" className="java.util.ArrayList"/>
<j:set var="dummy" value="${components.add(component1)}"/>
<j:set var="dummy" value="${components.add(component2)}"/>
</goal>
<goal name="process" prereqs="init">
<!-- Iterator over the list we created in the 'init' goal -->
<j:forEach var="component" items="${components}">
<echo>
component.dir = ${component.dir}
component.name = ${component.name}
</echo>
</j:forEach>
</goal>
Hope that helps.
