<p><u>BeanMap</u></p>
<p>BeanMap's entrySet() now properly returns a set containing Map.Entry
objects. Previously, entrySet() was equivalent to keySet() (returns a set of
the readable properties) and there was no mechanism to retrieve all of the
readable properties along with their values. Additionally, the BeanMap clone
method has been revamped to work better for subclasses. </p>
<p><i>BeanMap 2.0 compatibility changes:</i></p>
<ul>
<li>BeanMap's clone() method now declares it throws
CloneNotSupportedException. This allows subclasses of BeanMap to not require
being Cloneable and facilitates subclasses that wish to be cloneable (allows
the subclass to call super.clone() and have it return an instance of the
child rather than the parent).</li>
<li>If a BeanMap is not cloneable because a new instance of the underlying
bean cannot be constructed, a CloneNotSupportedException is thrown rather
than an UnsupportedOperationException or other RuntimeException.</li>
<li>BeanMap's entrySet() method now returns a set of Map.Entry objects rather
than the set of readable properties. To retrieve a set of readable
properties, use keySet() instead.</li>
</ul>
<p><i>Bugs fixed:</i></p>
<ul>
<li>If no bean is set in the BeanMap, or setBean(Object) was called with a
null argument, many BeanMap methods threw NullPointerExceptions. These have
been fixed to properly handle the case where there is no bean established in
the map.</li>
</ul>
