Cannot set com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.basic.DateConverter in XStreamMarshaller.setConverters(Converter[]) [SWS-100]

Jesus Ramos opened SWS-100 and commented

Method XStreamMarshaller.setConverters can only accept an array of Converter, which is not the root class in the converter hierarchy in XStream. The root class is ConverterMatcher, which is parent to Converter. I tried to set a DateConverter and instantiation of the Marshaller threw a ClassCastException. I suggest the method signature be changed to accept an array of ConverterMatcher as a parameter.

It seems like the ConverterMatcher was introduced in XStream 1.2, so we have to upgrade to this version
