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.
