> org.apache.aries.blueprint.container.AggregateConverter.convert(Object, ReifiedType) throws an Exception when the ReifiedType has type parameters. The issue is in the "isAssignable" function line 416 (of version 0.3) where there is a check that "target.size() == 0". This condition can never be true for parameterized types, so it is assumed that the object is not assignable.
> For example, consider the following
> public interface Foo<T> {
>     ...
> }
> public interface Bar {
>     ...
> }
> public class ExtendsFoo implements Foo<Bar> {
>     ...
> }
> public class Baz {
>     public void setFoo(Foo<Bar> foo) {
>         ...
>     }
> }
> wiring of an instance of ExtendsFoo to Baz fails with the exception message "no type converter available to convert from type: ExtendsFoo to the required type: Foo<Bar>"
