> BEANUTILS-425 was about adding a mechanism for customizing bean
> introspection. This ticket is a request for a concrete new
> {{BeanIntrospector}} implementation which detects writable bean properties
> even if the return value of the set method is not *void*.
> The _builder_ pattern and fluent API definitions become more and more
> popular. Here methods are offered for setting properties that return the
> current instance of a builder object for method chaining, for instance:
> {code}
> public class FooBuilder {
> public FooBuilder setFooProperty1(String value) {
> ...
> return this;
> }
> public FooBuilder setFooProperty2(int value) {
> ...
> return this;
> }
> }
> {code}
> Standard bean introspection will not recognize set methods like that because
> they do not conform to the Java Beans specification. A new
> {{BeanIntrospector}} implementation can be created which ignores the return
> type of set methods and create corresponding {{PropertyDescriptor}} objects
> with a correct write method.
