Craig L Russell commented on JDO-709:
-------------------------------------
It looks like we do not need the @Target(ElementType.TYPE,...) on the @Convert
annotation either.
This would be useful for indicating that any use of the converted type would
use the converter without a specific annotation on the field. But it is also a
bit harder to figure out that a type is converted by default, and we would then
need to document that behavior.
