Description

All plugin parameters in the pom.xml or on the command line are given as strings. There should be a type coercion table in https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-plugins.html#configuring-parameters elaborating how those Strings are converted into the target type (i.e. which method is called under the hood).

Compare with the discussion started in https://lists.apache.org/thread/3q3bt89cms0pl7ylgkjhj708vgfqf927
