Hi Paul,
I do register them now, but I asked the question because I wanted to avoid it,
to keep my unit testing faster and easier.
I guess now that I've written a routine to set up the Converter, it's no more
hassle than setting up a mock, but in my ideal architecture, I would want to see
it mocked out instead.

Why can't you set up the test just like you would in real life? How do
you register your converters today?

In my unit tests I sometimes have the situation where I need to register my
custom converters for ConvertUtils in order to make everything behave as it
would in real life.
Normally the conversions are incidental to the test so it seems unnecessary
to need to set up ConvertUtils.
Seeing inside the ConvertUtils class that there is a ConvertUtilsBean, I had
the idea of using the ConvertUtilsBean in my classes, and initializing it
via dependency injection.
Then I could mock it.
However all access to the ConvertUtilsBean via the singleton getInstance
factory method is protected. Would it be unwise to instantiate it myself in
my dependency injection container?
