Hi

We want to create an ExternalResourceDescription via

public static ExternalResourceDescription 
createExternalResourceDescription(Class<? extends Resource> aInterface, 
Object... aParams)

This resource has a couple of ConfigurationParameters and some of them 
are booleans.

If the object[] aParams contains those booleans an exception is thrown 
in line 177 ( param.setValue((String) aParams[i * 2 + 1]);) because the 
cast to String is not possible.

If we put them as Strings into the object array it seems to work.

This seems like an inconsistency, because we have to put boolean into 
the factory for an AnalysisEngineDescription but Strings for an 
ExternalResourceDescription.

Is this a bug or the expected behavior?

Best regards,
Matthias
