        Description copied from interface: Converter

        Turn a String-based tree-structure into an Object. Additionally the type of object desired is known. This is usually a Java class, but this is not mandatory.

        The properties structure is located at the point of the lookup key, so if the code asked for a com.example.Foo object, the properties structure would be everything below Foo.

        To get at the value of com.example.Foo itself, request the empty string, "".

        TODO: No way for a converter to know the delimiter-type.

        Specified by:
        convert in interface Converter
        Parameters:
        properties - a Properties data structure
        type - a String representation of object desired
