The description was totally destroyed:

In dists jar(baseName: "$prop") does not work while jar(baseName: "$prop".toString()) works.

We postpone this issue to 0.7 although already in 0.6 we have or will improve this in a couple of areas. For 0.7 we will systematically check our API in regard to this issue.

Comment by Hans Dockter [ 31/Aug/09 ]

We have improved this behavior in many areas. Therefore I close this generic issue. Future issues regarding this can specifically point to area where only strings are accepted.

BTW: In general our policy is to accept any object (not just String and GString) and then use the toString method.
