If a String parameter is empty in a Java based job call, Roddy will fail: Not able to convert entry

[dankwart-de]

This is a bug in the GenericMethod class

if (split.length != 2)
                    throw new RuntimeException("Not able to convert entry ${entry.toString()} to parameter.")

It makes sense to unset an environment variable or set it to an empty value. Therefore, this should not fail but result in the setting of an empty value (VARNAME=).

Possible solutions:

• extra code to allow/disallow empty values
• always request a value, but handle empty values with Optional instances (None = empty value.)
