Okay, I suck on doing things 'tonight' :) Have been playing with the code though, as it's fun stuff. How are you feeling about drafting up the proposal etc Matt?
One problem I've hit is that inheritence is kind of useless. You'll just get a ClassCast in most usages: Converter converter = ConverterRegistry.getConverter(String.class, java.sql.Date.class); preparedStatement.setDate(1, converter.convert(java.sql.Date.class, someString) ); If there's no sql.Date converter, it then finds a util.Date converter. Converts and promptly dies. Inheritence on the fromClass side may still make sense. For most people, this basically means Object->String.
