Consider options for BeanUtils compatibility in light of Conversion improvements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BEANUTILS-285
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-285
             Project: Commons BeanUtils
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Niall Pemberton
            Assignee: Niall Pemberton


The Conversion improvements associated with BEANUTILS-258 potentially create \
compatibility issues - this was highlighted by Betwixt's tests failing recently in \
the gump run - see http://tinyurl.com/2mxbv8 for more details.

Quite a bit of effort has been put into making the new conversion facilities as \
painless as possible for existing users. However it is not fully backwards compatible \
in terms of behaviour (stiil binary compatible). Need to give this some consideration \
before a BeanUtils release - at the moment there are two options on the table (more \
welcome!):

1) The compatibility as it stands is good enough (covers most cases) - so do nothing
2) Provide a "compatibility option" - so that users can choose either the new \
behaviour or behaviour compatible with BeanUtils 1.7.0. This probably involves quite \
a bit of work - adding back the old behaviour alongside the new
