Description

Currently for mojo parameters of type Collection/Map the type of the items are not exposed. For example in https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/javadoc-mojo.html#dependencySourceExcludes the type of items in the java.util.List are not exposed.

As this information is crucial it should be part of the report.
The plugin descriptor is very vague about the type element of the parameter: https://maven.apache.org/ref/3.8.6/maven-plugin-api/plugin.html#parameter
