Allow to configure array-typed plugin parameters from expressions yielding
collections and vice versa
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5012
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5012
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle
Affects Versions: 3.0.2
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Priority: Minor
The distinction between arrays and collections is often times more a low-tech
thingy than anything else, conceptually, both types are useful to hold zero or
more items. As such it would be nice if plugin authors can freely choose which
type works best for their plugin parameters. E.g. many Maven APIs provide
collections yet arrays currently render the nicer plugin docs (component type
mentioned). Currently, this is not possible:
{code:java}
/** @parameter default-value="${project.compileSourceRoots}" */
String[] sourceRoots;
{code}
