[bv-dev] Should we expose group conversions via meta-data API?

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi all,

I think one natural way for representing group conversions in the metadata
API would be to add a method

    Map<Class<?>, Class<?>> getGroupConversions()

to ParameterDescriptor, ReturnValueDescriptor and PropertyDescriptor
(that's also how conversions are represented internally in the RI).

Any thoughts on that, or other suggestions? If no one objects, I'd move
forward and add the method to the spec and API.
