Hi,

Since there was no response to hneemann#866, I'm also opening this PR but can revise it if you want.
Also, this PR is related to hneemann#870, but fixed more flaky tests in DataFieldConverterTest.java

By running the following command:
mvn install -DskipTests,
mvn edu.illinois:nondex-maven-plugin:1.1.2:nondex -Dtest=de.neemann.digital.core.memory.DataFieldConverterTest

Three tests testMarshalObj, testMarshalObj2, testMarshalObj3 in de.neemann.digital.core.memory.DataFieldConverterTest will fail sometimes.

The reason is that method xStream.toXML() in com.thoughtworks.xstream.XStream is not deterministic: Xstreamer.toXML(object) method first serializes the object using HashMap and then convert the XML object to string in the order of keys in the HashMap. I fixed the flakiness by checking whether the actual output is in the expected list, which contains all the possible XML combination orders.
