Hi all, I've started work on beanutils2 again. I see a lot of potential regarding the API, when we upgrade the project to Java 8. For example, I'm currently working on an API that let's users define type conversion. It could look like this:
import static org.apache.commons.beanutils2.ConverterBuilder.from; BeanUtils.newInstance().withConverters( from(String.class).to(Integer.class).using(Integer::parseInt) ) Further more I found this [1] GitHub project I'd like to integrate, that does awesome magic with lambas. You can read more about that here [2].
