@parameter alias does not seem to work

Hi,

Did I misunderstand how @parameter alias is supposed to work, or is this a
legitimate bug?

My plugin contains:

	/**
	 * The environment variables.
	 *
	 * @parameter alias="environment"
	 * @required
	 */
	@SuppressWarnings("UWF_UNWRITTEN_FIELD")
	private Map<String, String> environmentVariables;

The referencing POM contains:

<configuration>
  <environment>
    <FOO>bar</FOO>
  </environment>
</configuration>

This fails, as does:

<configuration>
  <environmentVariables>
    <FOO>bar</FOO>
  </environmentVariables>
</configuration>

but if I remove "alias" from the plugin and use the second POM variation
then it works. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Gili

I think this is a bug. Aliasing seems to work for simple types (String) but
not for Map. Can someone please confirm this on their end?
