    Description

      Hello there

      Defining the parameter field of an Macro as

      java.lang.Number

      results in the parameter variable

      $xcontext.macro.params.

      within the macro to be of type "string"

      which causes various issues when doing conditions like > or <, as strings cannot be compared this way ...

      One would need to convert this within the macro. Would be efficient if the type is inherited by the variable exposed to the macro.

      Tested with Velocity using

      Parameter class type: ${variable.class.name} which returned string.
