public abstract class AbstractConverterMetadata
extends MetadataConverter

INTERNAL: Abstract metadata converter. Key notes: - any metadata mapped from XML to this class must be compared in the equals method. - when loading from annotations, the constructor accepts the metadata accessor this metadata was loaded from. Used it to look up any 'companion' annotation needed for processing. - methods should be preserved in alphabetical order.
