Hi
well, a configuration such as the one below:
<java>
<include>true</include>
<includePaths>
<includePath>include</includePath>
<includePath>include/win32</includePath>
</includePaths>
<link>true</link>
<runtime>jvm</runtime>
<runtimeDirectory>lib</runtimeDirectory>
</java>
where the Java "type" is composed of a List, booleans, a File object and a
String.
Agreed this could be written flat as:
<javaInclude>true</javaInclude>
...
<javaRuntimeDirectory>lib</javaRuntimeDirectory>
but if you wanted to reuse the Java "type" it makes more sense to have it as
a separate tag.
Linking to the javadoc would already help.
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
This behavious is as is currently expected. Currently a and b would be
considered to be types, so expressions, etc inside the types would not be
evaluated. However, I think we should link to the javadoc from the plugin
documentation.
What is your exact use case for having complex configuration where a and b are
not reusable types?
