Description

 Overview

the copyProperties method in the BeanUtils class, is able to copy only public properties or the ones with a public setter method.

it would be really useful if this functionality can be extended in order to copy any kind of Java Bean: Mutable, Immutable, Mixed.

Solution

Evaluate the possibility to use, behind the scenes, an open source library that is able to copy Mutable, Immutable and Mixed Java Bean. The library In object is BULL.
This would also make able to copy nested objects.
