       Body:
I have a patch which fixes the problem and adds a test case to test for it...

// In TestSmartTranslator.java
public void testStringToObject()
{
  Translator t = new SmartTranslator();
  Object result = t.translate( null, Object.class, "test", null );
  assertEquals( "test", result );
}

This fails with an Exception (with roughly the same stack trace).  So, I added 
logic into SmartTranslator...

// HIVEMIND-10: Inside JavaWebStart you (strangely) can't rely on
// a PropertyEditor for String (even though it is trivial).
// HIVEMIND-15: When SmartTranslator needs to translate a String to
// an object, it should merely return the original String.
if ( String.class.equals( propertyType ) || 
     Object.class.equals( propertyType ) )
{
  return inputValue;
}

Please open this back up so that I can attach my patch.  We should put this fix 
into the 1.0 branch, too.

Here is an overview of the issue:

        Key: HIVEMIND-15
    Summary: hivemind fails on translating a string attribute in a string
       Type: Wish

     Status: Closed
   Priority: Major
 Resolution: CANNOT REPRODUCE

    Project: HiveMind
 Components: 
             framework
   Versions:
             1.0

Description:
I have a configuration-point that builds a list of strings. When I build the 
schema for the cp, hivemind expects a translator for an attribute. Since I want 
to have Strings in my list, I don't need a translator.

Sadly the SmartTranslator fails on translating a string into a string, so I had 
to write my own (very simple implementation :-). Maybe I did something wrong in 
my configuration-point:

configuration-point (id=model) {
  schema {
    element (name=model) {
      attribute (name=name required=true)

      rules {
        push-attribute (attribute=name)
        invoke-parent (method=addElement)
      }
    }
  }
}

contribution (configuration-id=model) {
  model (name=MyModelName)
}

If this is correct, it would be a great enhancement, if hivemind would be able 
to "translate" strings into strings without implementing a custom translator. 
This is not very intuitive.

Greetings,

Christian Domsch
