Misleading documentation regarding configuration of java.utils.Properties
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MNG-2256
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2256
     Project: Maven 2
        Type: Bug

  Components: Documentation:  General  
    Reporter: James Talmage

Snippet:

{quote}
Properties
This category covers any map which implements java.util.Properties. These 
parameters are configured by including XML tags in the form <key>value</key> in 
the parameter configuration.

This lead me to believe I could set properties like this:

{quote}
........
<configuration>
    <myPropertiesObject>
         <propertyName>propertyValue</propertyName>
    </myPropertiesObject>
</configuration>
.............
{quote}



Instead I've found I need to do it like this:

{quote}
........
<configuration>
    <myPropertiesObject>
         <property>
                   <name>propertyName</name>
                   <value>propertyValue</value>
         <property>
    </myPropertiesObject>
</configuration>
.............
