Build failure: Unable to parse configuration of mojo com.github.blutorange:closure-compiler-maven-plugin:2.21.0:minify for parameter includes: Cannot assign configuration entry 'includes' with value '**/*.js' of type java.lang.String to property of type java.util.ArrayList

Using Version 2.21.0
I get the build failure: Unable to parse configuration of mojo com.github.blutorange:closure-compiler-maven-plugin:2.21.0:minify for parameter includes: Cannot assign configuration entry 'includes' with value '**/*.js' of type java.lang.String to property of type java.util.ArrayList, when I have <includes>**/*.js<includes> in my pom.

This issue can be solved with the additional <include> parameter in my pom:

<includes><include>**/*.js</include></includes>

Yes, theincludes is a list, so you need <includes><include>**/*.js</include></includes>. The parsing is done by maven itself, so I don't think there's any way to support the shortcut <includes>**/*.js<includes>.

With the long version you don't get any issues?

With the long version, I don't get any issues. However, I think it would be great to add it to the usage example in the README.md.

Ah, now I see what you mean, it's wrong in the readme. I updated it, thanks for pointing it out 👍
