Allow to condense configuation of plugin parameter beans that commonly require
only one value
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5013
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5013
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugins and Lifecycle, POM
Affects Versions: 3.0.2
Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
Priority: Minor
Let's take this example configuration snippet:
{code:xml}
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/foo</directory>
<filtering>true</filtering>
</resource>
<resource>src/bar</resource>
</resources>
{code}
Apparently, the last {{<resource>}} element is meant as a shorthand form for
{{<resource><directory>src/bar</directory></resource>}}.
Not only does support for this notation save users a few bits of (sometimes
hated) XML but it also provides plugin authors with a smooth upgrade path say
when a parameter was initially typed as {{File[]}} but later needs to be
extended into {{Bean[]}}.
