It would be nice if the rules were documented somewhere.

I wish him luck.  They leave a lot out.  At least, I *think* they do,
because I had a lot of questions that don't seem to be answered
anywhere.  I went digging in the code, wound up deep inside Plexus,
submitted a documentation patch for the bits I managed to understand,
but still felt no certainty.

So what *are* we supposed to do if we want structured parameters?  And
where should I have read that?

2012-01-17 Thread Robert Scholte 

Hi Max,

Don't confuse a mojo with a pojo.
The Mojo reflects the actual goal, supports injection, etc, etc.
A pojo is just that plain old java object: private fields with their  
getters and setters

Only for mojo's the @parameters can be used.
Such field can be of a lot of types: String, primitive, pojo, array or  
List of one of these types (as long as Plexus can transform it)

The @parameter on the name of the person won't work.

I've never developed Ant Plugins for Maven 2.x, this is the first time I  
see this page.

My impression is that this was written in the early days of Maven 2.
I don't think there are a lot of people who are still developing  
Maven-plugins like this.


I strongly advice you to first read the 5 minutes[1] and 30 minutes[2]  
tutorials.
Next check if there is already a plugin which already solves your problem,  
you're probably not the first one [3] (at the bottom are some other  
maven-plugin communities)

Unlike Ant it's much easier to reuse "build-scripts"/plugins.
