Thanks Carsten! I tried both the options (unbounded=PropertyUnbounded.ARRAY and cardinality=N) independently, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. The scr xml still generates <property name="multivalued.property" value="only-single-value"/>
I even upgraded to SCR annotations v1.9.2 and Maven SCR plugin 1.12.0, and still it won't work. Can I have a code sample somewhere, so that I can try it out?
