Removed unnecessary methods.  Renamed some old names. Added a new
method to copy a map of properties and values onto a bean.
Sorted the methods since their sequence isn't that important in
understanding this code.

Updated some methods to be more efficient.  Overloaded some and removed
the use of variable array field so it's more clear (cruft from ancient
code).

Corrected comments. Enhanced comments.
Made some correction.
Made some fixes as a result of running unit tests.
Units tests for ValidationUtils class.  Initial set.  Still have a few
to go.
Finished more unit tests.  Man this is tedious, but necessary.
