Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-709:
------------------------------------
The other use of the "attributeName" was when wanting to define a converter for
the key/value of a Map (attributeName="key", or attributeName="value"), or when
we have a Collection of some non-persistable element and wanting to define a
converter for the element type. That could be of use, and DataNucleus has the
code for it ... but it does not require the Converts annotation though.
So we could add the attributeName to the Convert annotation just for those 3
specific cases, but ignore the embedded field converter override.
