Does
        <java ...>
                <arg line="positional-args ${mymappedlist}" />
        </java>
do what you want (without the warnings)?

Replying to my own message:  I found an example of a mapper that did
what I
wanted to create a string "foo.jar bar.jar baz.jar".  Then I was cooking
with gas, and I used the DEPRECATED form

<java args="positional-args ${mymappedlist}">

It's pretty ugly because in addition to the mapped list there are
several
positional arguments that have to be specified...

Please undeprecate this usage.  Now I get a warning in my build.  But I
can't see how else to do it.
