Hello André, nice that you're interested in BU2, welcome to this list.

WRT BeanUtils2, we currently have a stable state in trunk, which implements a subset of the functionality provided by BeanUtils. BeanUtils2 should have all capabilities of BeanUtils before it can be released as a replacement. I've fought about releasing trunk as 0.1, but I feared the binary compatibility discussions that this approach would lead to :-) So hear are the things that would have to go into BU2 before it can be released as a replacement for BeanUtils: - evaluation of property paths: BeanUtils.setProperty(myBean, "adress.street", "5th Ave"); - Conversation between data types - The caching has to be reworked, because it relies on static fields that always cause trouble in multi class loader environments - possibilities to configure custom BeanUtils instances > > I'm highly interested in contributing to this project.

Just open an issue and attach a svn diff file to it. Please make sure that you have filed an ICLA [1]. You should also read the material on our websites [2,3,4]. If you really want to join development of BU2, I'd recommend that you have a look at trunk and play around with it a bit. Is there something you can improve? Are there test cases missing? This are always good exercises for getting started. After that we should discuss the topics I've mentioned above.
