Henri Yandell closed BEANUTILS-168.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Fixed

Note added to Javadoc.

svn ci -m "Adding note to Javadoc that copyProperties is for copying properties 
and not for copying the contents of arrays or Lists. I pondered adding that 
functionality, but there's already some weird Map->Bean functionality in place 
and I felt it would just confuse things as I would have had to somewhat fix 
that to allow for Map->Map copying. "

> my application tries to copy a list.
>   List workerList = new ArrayList();
>   BeanUtils.copyProperties(workerList, msg.getAllRecip());
> the size of the ArrayList allRecip in my msg object is 6.
> After the copy, the size of the workerList remains 0.
> Sure, 
>   workerList.addAll(msg.getAllRecip());
> works as an alternative, but wouldn't it be appropriate to warn the user of
> copyProperties ?
> Might be related to COM-343
