Looking a gt-main dependencies that can be removed.

The dependency on commons beanutils is used for a single class - 
CommonsConverterFactory makes use of ConvertUtils.

{code}
      static {
            ConvertUtils.register( uri, URI.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( number, Number.class );
                
                //make sure numeric converters do not use default value
                ConvertUtils.register( new ByteConverter(null), Byte.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new ShortConverter(null), Short.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new IntegerConverter(null), 
Integer.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new LongConverter(null), Long.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new BigIntegerConverter(null), 
BigInteger.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new FloatConverter(null), Float.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new DoubleConverter(null), Double.class 
);
                ConvertUtils.register( new BigDecimalConverter(null), 
BigDecimalConverter.class );
                
                ConvertUtils.register( new BooleanConverter(null), 
Boolean.class );
                ConvertUtils.register( new CharacterConverter(null), 
Character.class );
        }
{code}

The attached patch removes this dependency and offers slightly lighter 
converters then those provided by beanutils.

I had a look at the internals of ConvertUtils; they make use of a "FastHashMap" 
(that provides direct access to a Hashmap once in "fast" mode; before then it 
protects all access.

In our case we are only registering converters up front a static method; so a 
private HashMap will be fine throughout.
