Description

Trying something like

/**
 * @parameter default-value="${project.file}"
 */	
private String stringParam;

currently fails with

Cause: Cannot assign value '[...]\plexus-conf\pom.xml' to field: MyMojo.stringParam; type: java.io.File

Values of type File as well as other scalar types like Number or URL which can naturally be represented by strings should be acceptable input values for string fields, too.

The proposed patch extends the StringConverter accordingly.
