I'm looking for a good, well-supported, and efficient Java library that uses reflection to automate JavaBean operations. These include making a deep copy of an arbitrary bean hierarchy (with nested lists and maps of beans), comparing two bean hierarchies for deep equality, and "transmorphing" one bean to another of a different class.

Some possibilities include Apache Commons BeanUtils, Spring's BeanUtils, and Java's Bean support.

Which libraries would you recommend?

It's 2009 and we still all hold on the JavaBeans despite all their flaws, mostly because of the tooling support which we wrote in our own blood.
