public Object fromConfiguration(ConverterLookup converterLookup,
                                PlexusConfiguration configuration,
                                Class type,
                                Class baseType,

                         throws ComponentConfigurationException

Parameters:

converterLookup - Repository of available converters

configuration - PlexusConfiguration

type - the type of object to read

baseType - the type of object the the source is

classLoader - ClassLoader which should be used for loading classes

expressionEvaluator - the expression evaluator to use for expressions

listener - ConfigurationListener.

Returns:

the object

Throws:

ComponentConfigurationException - in case of an error. TODO: a better way, instead of baseType, would be to pass in a factory for new classes that could be based from the given package
