Re: [picocontainer-dev] ConfigParameterTestCase / ConfigParameter

Konstantin,

These are mostly one-line converters.  They are barely worth of a  
class at all.

If Sun had thought a bit longer, all those JDK classes all would  
implement --

    StringConvertible<T> {
        T convert(String textForm);
    }

... and we would not be dealing with the even the 800 byte inner class.

I'd prefer to fork those from XStream (if we could not recreate them  
without reference to XStreams source), and get Joe/Jörg/Mauro's  
approval for the license change for those classes than depend on  
*any* jar for this trivial task.   Not that the XStream ones are  
perfect - they have a redundant method for us.
