Is this the forum to make that suggestion?
Yes, this is definitely the right place to discuss things like this. The problem is that if we add that code to beanutils then beanutils will no longer work in pre-1.5 jvms. Offhand I can't think of a reasonable way to support 1.5 enums without breaking earlier java versions. And having separate versions of beanutils for the two java platforms would be a major nuisance. Any ideas how this could be implemented?
