[BeanUtils2] Do we still need the internal and the transformers package?

[Benedikt Ritter <be...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I remember, that we added the internal package, because we had the
need to split up the code base. Looking at the code base now, I don't
see any reason for the internal package. Can we move Assertions back
to the main package and remove the internal package?
And what do we need the transformer for? It has been there from the
beginning, but we never used it. Is it an artifact from BeanUtils1
that can be dropped as well?

Thanks,
Benedikt

yes, I am taking care of it (not sure that action worths an issue)

We've haven't used it but we could (should?) do - BU supports the
useful feature of properties settings via Converters, that means that
someone could chose to pass a String to set an Integer.

The transformer package was initially designed for that purpose - we
never used it because of lack of time, not because it is not useful :P

best,
