Re: [Simple-support] Array deserialization issue, with test and patch

[Shevek <sh...@an...>]

The patch isn't to fix the JDK bug. It's to fix the bug exhibited by the 
provided test case, which is to do with Converter getting called for 
array types, not just element types, but apparently only when 
CycleStrategy is used.

The JDK bug is just an aside, as I had to change the test runner.

By the way, an update to 
org.simpleframework.xml.strategy.CycleStrategyTest.testArray also fails 
since I wrote this code and test.

Thank you very much!
