Annotation Type Convert

@Retention(value=RUNTIME)
@Target(value={METHOD,TYPE})
public @interface Convert

All DOM methods that return something nontrivial, not String, Integer, Boolean, PsiClass, PsiType, or GenericValue parameterized with all these elements, should be annotated with this annotation. The value() parameter should specify Converter class able to convert this custom type to and from String. Also DOM interfaces can be annotated, which will mean that all tag value methods inside will have the specified converter.
