[beanutils] making BeanUtils.setProperty() public
For some reason the very useful BeanUtils.setProperty(bean, property, value)
method is private. Does anyone have any objections to making it public?
Creating a Map and filling it with one property/value pair so that
BeanUtils.populate() can be called seems a tad inefficient if someone only
wants to set one property, using the same conversion rules as
BeanUtils.populate().

Cool, thanks Craig. Its now public in CVS.

It was originally private because I just factored out a bunch of code that
was in two places in BeanUtils.populate(). I guess it is sorta useful on
its own, because it does the automatic conversions for you. Go for it.

I did; have made it public with Craig's blessing.

That method works and is indeed public but it does not have the default type
conversions that the BeanUtils.setProperty() method does. So now if folks
want the behaviour of PropertyUtils.setProperty() with type conversions,
they can use BeanUtils.setProperty().

Did you ever get your answer on this?
I could be wrong, but I think it should be PropertyUtils.setProperty(Object
bean, String name, Object value)
