        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor

        Parse a string and returns an instance of a value.
        Parameters:
        valueString - String to parse
        Returns:
        An instance of a value
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

        Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor
        Default value to use when the user hasn't specified one or when they wish to revert to a known-good state.

      • isMultiValue

        public final boolean isMultiValue()
        Deprecated.
        Description copied from interface: PropertyDescriptor
        Returns whether the property is multi-valued, i.e. an array of strings,

        isMultiValue in interface PropertyDescriptor<T>

        boolean
