OK, I might have a solution just using Jelly, and no custom code. Is
there anyway to dynamically create a property? For instance, I have the
following:
maven.jnlp.property.value.1=foo
and I have a forEach with an index variable of i.
I am trying to do something like: ${maven.jnlp.property.value.${i}}
However, this won't work. Is there something built in like an 'eval'
statement?
