Claus Ibsen commented on CAMEL-990:
-----------------------------------

We must remember to update the wiki with this new feature (if patch is 
committed)
http://activemq.apache.org/camel/type-converter.html

Do you mind writing a snippet what such documentation should be? As accepting a 
patch is only really useable if we also updates and improves the related 
documentation as well.

However I feel your idea is great. Maybe there should be a camel-annotation.jar 
that just contains the few annotations needed and with your strategy end-users 
can use their own annotations and thus imports.

> TypeConverter support with @Converter meta-annotation and not only @Converter

> Today TypeConverter detection is based on [EMAIL PROTECTED] annotation.
> Allow user to override this by using meta-annotation. This can be useful to 
> hide camel dependencies, when extending the framework.
> ie, this can be done:
> package some.package.of.mine;
> @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
> @Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
> @org.apache.camel.Converter
> public @interface OwnConverterAnnotation {
> }
> import some.package.of.mine.OwnConverterAnnotation;
> @OwnConverterAnnotation
> public class FileToXXXConverter {
>     @OwnConverterAnnotation 
>     public static XXX toWorkflowEntry(File file) throws IOException {
>         return new XXX();            
>     }
> }
