 <h3>1.  INTRODUCTION</h3>

 <p>The <em>BeanUtils</em> Component contains a set of Java classes that provide
 static utility methods useful in manipulating Java classes that conform to the
 JavaBeans Specification naming patterns for bean properties in a dynamic
 fashion.  The following classes are included:</p>
 <ul>
 <li><strong>BeanUtils</strong> - Higher level getters and setters that deal
     with automatic conversion of String-represented property values to the
     corresponding data types of the underlying property setters (and vice
     versa), using the capabilities of the ConvertUtils and PropertyUtils
     classes.</li>
 <li><strong>ConvertUtils</strong> - Utility methods to convert String arguments
     to native Java types (and vice versa)</li>.
 <li><strong>PropertyUtils</strong> - Low level getters and setters for bean
     properties that perform no type conversions at all.  Works on
     <code>List</code> objects as well (Not JavaBeans standard).</li>
 </ul>

 <p>An innovative and unique feature of this component is the syntax for
 accessing nested and indexed bean properties.  See the Javadocs
 <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/beanutils/api/">PropertyUtils</a>
 for more information about this feature.</p>


 <a name="Dependencies"></a>
 <h3>2.  DEPENDENCIES</h3>

 <p>The <em>BeanUtils</em> component is dependent upon the following external
 components for development and use:</p>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se">Java Development Kit</a>
     (Version 1.2 or later)</li>
 <li><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons">Collections Classes</a>
     from the Jakarta Commons Subproject</li>
 <li><a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons">Logging Classes</a>
     from the Jakarta Commons Subproject</li>
 <li><a href="http://www.junit.org">JUnit Testing Framework</a>
     (Version 3.7 or later) - for unit tests only, not required
     for deployment</li>
 </ul>


 <a name="Release Info"></a>
 <h3>3.  RELEASE INFO</h3>

 <p>Current Release:
 <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/release/commons-beanutils/v1.2/">Version 1.2</a></p>

 <p>Planned Next Release:  Real Soon Now :)  See the
 <a href="#Action Items">Action Items</a> list for tasks that need to be
 completed prior to this release.</p>

 <h3>4.  COMMITTERS</h3>

 <p>The following individuals are the primary developers and maintainers of this
 component.  Developers who plan to use <em>BeanUtils</em> in their own
 projects are encouraged to collaborate on the future development of this
 component to ensure that it continues to meet a variety of needs.</p>

 <h3>5.  ACTION ITEMS</h3>

 <p>The following action items need to be completed prior to a Version 1.3
 release of this component:</p>

 <table border="1">

   <tr>

   <tr>
     <td><strong>Solidify DynaBeans</strong>.  Finish discussions on DynaBean
          structure so that future API changes will be minimal.
     <td align="center">Craig (we hope)</td>
