That's what I thought, but thought you had something in mind...;-)

What I need to do is allow people to put a variable number of things in
the properties file(or somewhere. The best (but ugly) solution I have is
something like this:
maven.jnlp.property.number=2
maven.jnlp.property.name.1=foo
maven.jnlp.property.value.1=bar
maven.jnlp.property.name.2=bar
maven.jnlp.property.value.2=baz
Then write a Jelly tag that looks similar to:
<jnlp:propertyIterator
propertyName="maven.jnlp.property"/>
And this tag looked up $propertyName.number, loops over $propertyName.name
and $propertyName.value and printed out the appropriate tag.
I remember doing some serious ugly stuff in properties files several years
ago, hence my appreciation for XML based property files.
Do you see a better approach for this?
