Research direction

No source file or test is named. Begin by tracing the deploy-file configuration handling and compare the existing files, classifiers, and types lists with the proposed items/item structure. Clarify whether the new syntax complements or replaces the existing configuration; done requires that decision and its behavior to be specified.

Description

enhancement priority:minor

Gintas Grigelionis opened MDEPLOY-283 and commented

The configuration syntax for deployment of multiple files is ugly: <files>, <classifiers> and <types> as unrelated comma-separated and repetitive (for types) lists. I would like to propose

<items>
  <item>
    <file>...</file>
    <classifier>...</classifier>
    <type>...</type>
  <item>
</items>

as a complement (and maybe a replacement).
