It is a very cool approach to use annotations for mapping CSV fields with beans.

It can be even configured using a class annotation like this:
@CSVEntity(seperator= COMMA, quotas=true|false,... )
public class Person {
        @CSVField(header="NAME", width=15)
}

But how will the Collections be handled ?

    foo;bar;element1:element2

with a bean declaration like:

    public class Bean {
        @CSVField String foo;

        @CSVField String bar;

        @CSVField(split=":")
        String[] elements;
    }

Collections are probably out of the scope of [csv]. The best we could do is splitting a field on a secondary delimiter, something like this:
