Obey generics in plugin collection parameters when populating them
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MNG-5028
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5028
             Project: Maven 2 & 3
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Plugin Requests
            Reporter: Benjamin Bentmann
            Priority: Minor


Right now, when determining the target type for a collection item to convert 
POM configuration to, Maven/Plexus uses some heuristics based on the XML 
element name and the mojo package name and eventually falls back to {{String}}. 
The current approach requires plugin authors to either put their parameter bean 
classes into the same package as the mojo or requires users to explicitly use 
the {{implementation}} attribute in the POM. These troubles can be avoided if 
Maven would recognize the generic type of a parameter declaration 
{{List<Bean>}}, thereby aligning collections with arrays regarding the ease of 
configuration/use.
