Hi,
first currently we have IConverter and ITypeConverter , i want to
combine those 2 to be one interface
And then a converter must be easy to make but also to understand.
So i can do this:
IConverter.convertToObject (String, Class)
IConverter.convertToString(Object)
Then writing a DateConverter is pretty simple, you have one
SimpleDateFormat (or more per locale)
and then in toObject you do parse and in toString you do format
The thing is we loose a bit of the more "generic" nature we have now
because in the current setup we could do:
conveter.convert(new Double(10), Integer.class) to convert from a double
to a integer.
Do we need this?
I don't think so. It's too generic, if anyone needs this, he can put
this kind of conversion to model.
I think the simplicity here should have bigger priority than
(unnecessary) flexibility.

besides to convertToString.
But that would complicate converters again.
That Class param can be ignored by a Converter impl (or it could check
if it was the type for which this converter is build.)
But having that class param there then it is possible to make a compound
converter and only have one interface
so that you can much easier make youre converter for a specific textfield.
