Description:
I was using displaytag-1.0 and decided that I needed to use the improved 
comparators in displaytag-1.1 to sort numbers and dates.  When I grabbed HEAD 
for displaytag-1.1 and updated my webapp's JAR file, it started to complain of 
two incompatibilities in commons-beanutils.  displaytag-1.1 uses 
ConvertUtilsBean and NestedNullException from beanutils-1.7.0, and both of 
these are new to that specific version of beanutils.

I'd like to request that you reduce your version dependency on 
commons-beanutils to 1.6.1 to ease the upgrade path for people who want to 
upgrade displaytags-1.0 to displaytags-1.1 in-place without updating other 
dependencies.  I would normally just update commons-beanutils to the latest 
version, but it happens to be used by other dependencies (hibernate, etc.), and 
changing that dependency introduces more risk into the upgrade for 
displaytag-1.1.  

I hope you give this some consideration, I know it seems counterintuitive, but 
the same thing can be achieved with beanutils-1.6.1, and you won't force people 
to upgrade other dependencies.  And, thanks.
