Benedikt Ritter updated SANDBOX-441:
------------------------------------

    Summary: [BeanUtils2] Handling of types that can not be instantiated in DefaultClassAccessor should be improved to give users better feedback  (was: [BeanUtils2] Handling of InstantiationException in DefaultClassAccessor.newInstance() should be improved to give users better feedback)

Changing the issue's title as it does not only apply to the newInstance() method.

> The handling of InstantiationException could be improved to give users a better feedback of what went wrong (see JavaDoc of Class<T>.newInstance() for reasons why instantiation may fail):
> * check if a default constructor is available and throw NoSuchConstructorException if not
> * else throw BeanInstantiationException but inspect beanType in BeanInstantiationException and set specific messages for the following cases:
> ** BeanType is abstract
> ** BeanType is an interface
> ** BeanType is a primitive type
> ** BeanType is an array type
> ** BeanType represents void
> ** if none of the above use a generic message
