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.
