---------------------------------------
I didn't mean to mark this 'major', and this copy of JIRA doesn't let authors
fix their errors of this sort.
> The XML resulting from a property of java.util.Properties is a lot more
> clumsy than that for Map

> Key: MNG-4171
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4171
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Plugin API
> Affects Versions: 2.1.0
> Reporter: benson margulies
>
> Map parameters have this convenient XML mapping
> <myPropName>
> <key>value</key>
> </myPropName>
> The corresponding syntax for Properties is much more verbose:
> <myPropName>
> <property><name>x</name><value>y</value</property>
> </myPropName>
> This seems like punishment to the plugin user. In my case, I am internally
> targetting an API that uses Properties, so it was really convenient to just
> declare at that type. However, the XML is so clumsy that I'm now going to go
> change it to a map and manually populate a Properties object. I wish that
> there was some @ to allow me to declare the variable as Properties and get
> the Map syntax.
