Mauro Talevi commented on JBEHAVE-398:
--------------------------------------
The reason for having different parameter converters for different raw types is
to distinguish the parameter List<String> from List<Number> (as you can see in
the accept(Type) method.
We can add a parameter converter for lists that delegates to the element
parameter converter (which would be specified when instantiating the
converter), so it can reused for different types of element converters, but I
don't see the benefit of some of the elements in the patch. In particular,
changing the ParameterConverters from class to interface and changing the
converter method signature would break backward compat.

> Key: JBEHAVE-398
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JBEHAVE-398
> Project: JBehave
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 3.1.2
> Reporter: Daniel Godfrey
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently to convert into a List<SomeType> it's necessary to register a
> custom ParameterConverter. By default it already provides the ability to
> convert into List<String> and List<subtype of Number>, but this should be
> extended to support all instances of List<T> as it will reduce the duplicate
> code necessary.
