Long term I think we can get rid of the dependency on Commons Collection by updating to Java 8 and lambas. So an incremental plan could be:
- Now: BeanUtils 1.x (commons-beanutils) depends on Commons Collection 3 (commons-collections). - Next: BeanUtils 2.x (commons-beanutils2) depends on Commons Collection 4 (commons-collections4). This is ready. - Next Next: BeanUtils 3.x (commons-beanutils3) depends on Java 8. This needs thought and not too much work, probably.
