		<item title="EclipseLink Converter Support">
			<description>
				EclipseLink Converters allow conversion between object and data types. They can be used in any attribute mapping to convert
				between the object and data types without requiring code to be placed in the object model. EclipseLink provides 
				several common converters, but you can also define your own.  Dali now supports configuring the provided Converters
				and custom defined Converters in the UI.
