Hi Ben,
I have just committed your patch (with IIRC one
spelling correction) to HEAD.  Sorry for the delay; I
wanted to think about this first, because I was having
a little trouble deciding whether this was the
responsibility of the InstantiatingReflector, or that
of a particular Transformer implementation.  Finally I
realized that (1) the Reflector exists at least
partially (originally wholly I suppose) to facilitate
conversions, and (2) if Constructor.newInstance()
required the parameter (at least before varargs) then
it is sensible for Morph to follow suit.  Finally, as
I mentioned in an earlier email, Morph is not as
constrained by BC issues at present as are other
software packages.

So how are you finding Morph compared to Dozer so far?

br,
Matt
