Why spring beans can not be used in Android

java.beans package again

The Springframework does not work in Android because of its heavy use of classes from java.beans package e.g. PropertyEditorSupport. Android currently only supports a few classes from java.beans package. I already filed feature request to support more classes from java.beans package in the Android bugtracker. Of course one can use classes from libraries of the Springframework in general e.g. org.springframework.core.io.DefaultResourceLoader.
