[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-868?page=comments#action_47534 ]
John Casey commented on MNG-868: -------------------------------- The activation property is not the same as any old configuration parameter. For one thing, we're not (currently) supporting combinatorial logic for multiple properties, which means that using a flat MAP style is leaving the door open to problems of multiple property specification. Perhaps I'd better rename the activation property to <systemProperty>, where the separation is more clear. In all other cases, properties are a map, or a DOM. In this case, I want the semantics to clearly support one property specification. > Use uniform format for <properties> and other tags > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-868 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-868 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Bug > Components: design > Versions: 2.0-beta-1 > Reporter: Kenney Westerhof > Fix For: 2.0-beta-3 > > Original Estimate: 2 hours > Remaining: 2 hours > > In settings.xml, the activationproperties have the format: > <property><name/><value/></property> > whereas the 'user' properties below (which don't have any documentation) have > the format > <my.property.name>my.property.value</my.property.name>. > They should really be uniform.
