Description

Currently we can have plugin configurations like:

<configuration>
  <listParam>
    <listParam>Foo*</listParam>
    <listParam>Bar*</listParam>
  </listParam>
<configuration>

But when we have plugin configuration like:

<configuration>
  <listParam>Foo*</listParam>
  <listParam>Bar*</listParam>
<configuration>

and add method addListParam to Plugin mojo class this is not working.

addListParam method on plugin level is called only once

Plugin code:

public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo {
    
    @Parameter
    private List<String> listParam;

    /**
    * special method called when inline collection in configuration is used.
    */
    public void addListParam(String value) {
        listParam.add(value);
    }
}
