org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor should preserve the string text
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCOMMON-32
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCOMMON-32
             Project: JBoss Common
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: common-core
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
            Reporter: Dimitris Andreadis
         Assigned To: Dimitris Andreadis
             Fix For: 2.2.1.GA


Many of our property editors extend org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.TextPropertyEditorSupport and operate in a reverse mode, i.e they store the string form of a property and convert to object whenever getValue() is called (rather than storing a converted object). 

In this way the string form remains intact, so there is no property replacement if you ask back the string with getAsText(). 

org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor in JBoss Common 1.x operates like this, but it was changed some time ago in jboss head (now jboss commons 2.x.)

This causes a test failure in the AS testsuite since getAsText() 
- doesn't preserve the property item order 
- resolves ${whatever} 
- includes the leading #timestamp 

I'll revert that change and essentially synch org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor  with jboss common 1.x.
