Description

When using Camel the type converters is loaded on the classpath using AnnotationTypeConverterLoader. We should let it thrown an exception if it could not find any type converters as it would cause Camel to startup with a very few type converter. This causes problems for end users when the cannot easily convert from XML-String, File-String etc.

This can happen in runtimes such as OSGi, JBoss, or other containers where classloading can play tricks.
