Benedikt Ritter commented on BEANUTILS-248:
-------------------------------------------

Now that we have switched to Java 5 we could even do something like:

{code}
public T populateNewInstance(Class<T> beanClass, Map<String, String> properties) { 
   T bean = beanClass.newInstance(); 
   populate(bean, properties); 
   return bean; 
}
{code}

> The idea is simple and I've seen this done in Log4J and had a use case for it myself in another project. Given a set of properties, create an instance of a specified class and set properties on it. I think this could be very useful for runtime configuration.
