Converter for java.awt.Font

FontConverter. The jvm is throwing errors (outside the jvm errors) when converting sometimes.

This class is perfect for my situation, but probably not others: (and it's a super hack )

import java.awt.*;

import com.thoughtworks.xstream.converters.basic.*;

public class FontConverter extends AbstractBasicConverter {

public boolean canConvert(Class type)

{ return type.equals(Font.class); }

protected Object fromString(String str)

{ String[] split = str.split(","); return new Font(split[0], Integer.parseInt(split[1]), Integer.parseInt(split[2])); }

protected String toString(Object obj)

{ Font font = (Font)obj; return font.getName()+","+font.getStyle()+","+font.getSize(); }

}
