> 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()".
