Job DSL: strange behavior from "configure"

      I am using the "configure" command to directly modify the XML since the Template Plugin is not supported directly.

      This is simple groovy code that produces (in my opinion) a false ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException:

      job("Template Output Job") {
  String[] templates = ["Template1", "Template2"]
  for (int i = 0; i < templates.length; i++) {
    configure {
      it / "builders" << "hudson.plugins.templateproject.ProxyBuilder" {
        "projectName"(templates[i]);
      }
    }
  }
}

      I can easily fix this by using a temporary variable:

      job("Template Output Job") {
  String[] templates = ["Template1", "Template2"]
  for (int i = 0; i < templates.length; i++) {
    String template = templates[i];
    configure {
      it / "builders" << "hudson.plugins.templateproject.ProxyBuilder" {
        "projectName"(template);
      }
    }
  }
}

      There may be a good reason for this, but it is very strange from an end user point of view...
