findPropertyDescriptor method with a class argument
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BEANUTILS-270
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-270
             Project: Commons BeanUtils
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: Bean / Property Utils
    Affects Versions: 1.7.0
            Reporter: Matthias Wuttke
            Priority: Minor


I would like to suggest to add a findPropertyDescriptor variant that takes a 
class instead of a bean as an argument. This is useful for situations where I 
want to deal with abstract classes and their properties as  I cannot 
instantiate them to use findPropertyDescriptor(Object, String)

        public PropertyDescriptor findPropertyDescriptor(Class clazz, String 
propertyName) {
                PropertyDescriptor[] descriptors = 
PropertyUtils.getPropertyDescriptors(clazz);
                for (int i = 0; i < descriptors.length; i++)
            if (propertyName.equals(descriptors[i].getName()))
                return (descriptors[i]);
                return null;
        }

Best regards,
Matthias
