Build Identifier: M-3.3.1-20110810234736

When a map keyed with a basic type is used with collection mappings (ElementCollect, OneToMany, and ManyToMany), we should be able to specify a named converter with @MapKeyConvert annotation or map-key-convert element for the corresponding mapped attribute key column, and should also be able to define a named converter on the mapped attribute and use it with @MapKeyConvert annotation or map-key-convert element. This leads to possible changes of our models as following:

1. Support multiple converter definitions on an attribute mapping
2. Decouple convert (@Convert/@MapKeyConvert) with converter definitions. Currently we cannot define a converter without enabling EclipseLink convert.

Reproducible: Always
