[hibernate-dev] TypeDef annotation

[Steve Ebersole]

typeClass can name any of the org.hibernate.type.Type derivatives.  
Namely:

1) Any impl of org.hibernate.type.Type
2) Any impl of org.hibernate.usertype.UserType, including impls of 
org.hibernate.usertype.EnhancedUserType and 
org.hibernate.usertype.UserVersionType
3) Any impl of org.hibernate.usertype.CompositeUserType
4) Any impl of org.hibernate.usertype.UserCollectionType

Not sure if/where this is covered in docs tbh.
