Return type java.util.Date does not work in a ParametersInfo class

When a ParametersInfo class contains a method with return type java.util.Date, the template composer will render a date picker to select a date. Setting the date in the UI works fine, but retrieving the date in the HstComponent fails. The following exception is then logged:

[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] 27.01.2012 17:59:09 WARN [org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.DateTimeConverter.toDate():465] DateConverter does not support default String to 'Date' conversion.
[INFO] [talledLocalContainer] 27.01.2012 17:59:09 WARN [org.apache.commons.beanutils.converters.DateTimeConverter.toDate():466] (N.B. Re-configure Converter or use alternative implementation)

Steps to reproduce:
1. create a project with archetype 1.05.02
2. add a method that return a date to the ListViewInfo class. For example:

@Parameter(name = "myDate", defaultValue = "5/5/2012", displayName = "My Date")
Date getMyDate();

3. in the ListView component retrieve the date value. For example:

ListViewInfo info = getParametersInfo(request);
System.out.println("Date=" + info.getMyDate());

4. login as admin into the CMS, open the template composer drag the 'list' component into the container on the home page.

Expected result: no warnings are logged
Actual result: many warnings are logged about DateTimeConverter.toDate()
