String arrays as command line arguments for maven plugin

Question

I\'m writing a maven plugin that has a parameter that\'s a String[].

Like this:

/**
* @parameter expression=\"${args}\"
*/
protected String[] args;
<         


        

Answer 1

To update on @nybon’s answer a bit, it seems

@Parameter(property="your.param")
private List yourParam;

works, at least when using maven-plugin-annotations:3.5 in Maven 3.5.0. Running with

-Dyour.param=val1,val2

sets the list.
