I tried web search, mailing list search and generative AI before asking here:
Not being experienced in Maven plugin development, I have created a plugin from scratch, which soon I intend to publish. I have something like this in my mojo: @Parameter(required = true) protected List<JavaAgent> javaAgents; JavaAgent is basically a Java Bean with several properties. It would be nice for users to get typing help in their respective IDEs when configuring the plugin. There is "intelli-sense" up to this point: <configuration> <javaAgents> <javaAgent></javaAgent> </javaAgents> </configuration> But now inside 'javaAgent', the user is on her own, because in plugin.xml there is only: <parameter> <name>javaAgents</name> <type>java.util.List</type> <required>true</required> <editable>true</editable> <description>some description</description> </parameter> In the transitory plugin-enhanced.xml, at least there is: <parameter> <name>javaAgents</name> <type>java.util.List<dev.aspectj.maven.agent_embedder.JavaAgent></type> <required>true</required> <editable>true</editable> <description>some description</description> </parameter> So, the list type is more specific. But in the built plugin, this extra information is gone. Is there any way to add more specific type information to plugin.xml, something that could help an IDE to figure out which properties there are for list element types? Of course, I can a lengthy javadoc, which then can be displayed in the help goal or in the IDE as a pop-up, but XML code completon would be much nicer and less error-prone.
