Description

The javadoc of the @Convert annotation claims that it can be placed on types, e.g.

@Convert(value = ConvertiblePointToStringConverter.class)
public class ConvertiblePoint {
  ...
}

While this feature is desirable, there is currently no implementation of it in the reference implementation.

For now, the javadoc should be fixed by removing the section about @Target(ElementType.TYPE,...).

Once the implementation is resourced (volunteers welcome!) the section can be put back in place.
