Hi all.
The VELOCITY-892 branch contains a fix for the corresponding issue [1].
The purpose is to let the method arguments conversion handler manipulate
the formal arguments types as java.lang.reflect.Type rather than
java.lang.Class, so that when dealing with a method like
void foo(List<Integer> list)
called with a string like "1,2,3", the conversion handler can choose the
correct converter between several string->list converters.
But merging the VELOCITY-892 branch back to trunk requires a minimal jdk
version of 1.8 (because of the Type.getTypeName() method).
Java SE 8 is now five years old, so I don't think it's a problem.
Any objection?
I think it is absolutely not our task to split strings for user's
convenience. The next one will request another separator and so on. We
should add at most a splitter tool. What we could do is to provide a new
syntax: "$obj.foo([1,2,3,4,5])", but that is another story and out of my
knowledge
As for Java 8, don't do if you don't have a compelling reaons, i.e.,
rewriting most of the codebase to use Java 8 features. We yet event
didn't move to generics in some places.
