[Jersey] Parameter converters in WebResourceFactory

Working with WebResourceFactory to build a Java client for a given
JAX-RS API, I'm currently blocked by the fact that parameter converters
used by the server do not get picked up by the WebResourceFactory or the
JAX-RS client.

This issue has been reported as a bug in
https://java.net/jira/browse/JERSEY-3248 - I think it is rather a
feature request, since javax.ws.rs.ext.ParamConverter.toString(T) is
clearly marked as "reserved for future use" both in JAX-RS 2.0 and the
current 2.1 draft.

Anyway, I've started hacking jersey-proxy-client to implement a
solution, which might evolve into an official contribution.

Before going into any technical details, I would like to ask how to proceed:

- Is the project team ready to review and accept pull requests at the
moment?

- Which should be the target branch for a pull request? (My project
can't wait for JAX-RS 2.1, so I'd need a solution for JAX-RS 2.0.)

Regards,
Harald
