Adrian Tarau commented on VELOCITY-790:
---------------------------------------

I'm thinking to add a dependency to BeanUtils's converters package(this 
dependency will not be propagated within Maven, it will be used just to build 
Velocity and at runtime the converters packages will be part of Velocity under 
org.apache.velocity.converters using shading) for type conversion in 
Configuration. This will add 47kb in compressed byte code but I think it's 
worth it...if not approved I will go with a simpler type conversion(only from 
String to type XXX).

> Currently the whole configuration of Velocity Engine is managed by 
> ExtendedProperties, a class from Commons Collections.
> An interface that abstracts from this implementation, and an implementation 
> that uses normal Properties should be used.
