Replying to my own message: I found an example of a mapper that did what I
wanted to create a string "foo.jar bar.jar baz.jar". Then I was cooking
with gas, and I used the DEPRECATED form
<java args="positional-args ${mymappedlist}">
It's pretty ugly because in addition to the mapped list there are several
positional arguments that have to be specified...
Please undeprecate this usage. Now I get a warning in my build. But I
can't see how else to do it.
