Description

feature existed in version 2.9 as

/**
 * @parameter property="beanPropertyName"
 */
private String fieldName;

and permitted to have bean getters/setters with different name

public String getBeanPropertyName() { return fieldName; }
public void setBeanPropertyName( String aValue ) { this.fieldName = aValue }

but was removed in MPLUGIN-199 to reuse the "property" definition with different meaning (see MPLUGIN-196)

could be reintroduced both as javadoc annotation:

/**
 * @parameter name="beanPropertyName"
 */
private String fieldName;

and java 5 annotation:

@Parameter name="beanPropertyName"
private String fieldName;
