[cp-patches] Introspector.getBeanInfo(class, int)

[Aaron Luchko]

We don't have Introspector.getBeanInfo(class, int) implemented. I've
been experimenting with it to try and figure out how it works,
unfortunately anything I try it seems to return exactly the same as
Introspector.getBeanInfo(class). I was wondering if someone knew exactly
how it was supposed to work and how I could test it. Otherwise I was
wondering if I should commit something like the following patch.

thanks, 
Aaron
