David Bosschaert commented on FELIX-5338:
-----------------------------------------
Good point, since this is part of the OSGi API I will discuss it within the
OSGi EG, but I agree that newAdapter() - and some doc clarification - would be
better.
> Clarification of Converter.getAdapter()

> Hi!
> The intent of Converter.getAdapter() is not quite clear to me.
> {code}
> /**
> * Obtain an adapter to this converter. The adapter behaves just like
> the
> * converter except for the exception rules registered with is. For more
> * details see the {@link Adapter} interface.
> *
> * @return An adapter to this converter.
> */
> Adapter getAdapter();
> {code}
> Is this supposed to return an *existing* Adapter? Or rather, should it return
> a *new* Adapter.
> My guess is the latter, and the implementation code aligns with my
> expectation. However, it is not clear from the documentation or the API.
> Suggestion: the method should be renamed to "newAdapter()".
