-----------------------------------

             Summary: StringType of "String" causes logcalType converters to be ignored for field
                 Key: AVRO-2548
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-2548
             Project: Apache Avro
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: java, logical types
    Affects Versions: 1.9.0
            Reporter: Chris Woodham


I have the avro maven plugin configured like this:

 
```
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
                <artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${avro.version}</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>schema</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <stringType>String</stringType>
                            <createSetters>false</createSetters>
                            <enableDecimalLogicalType>true</enableDecimalLogicalType>
                            <fieldVisibility>private</fieldVisibility>
                            <customConversions>
                                <conversion>
                                    org.apache.avro.Conversions$UUIDConversion
                                </conversion>
                            </customConversions>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
```

With the intention of using the provided `UUIDConversion` class on string fields set with the logicalType `uuid`. However, it seems like having `stringType` specified as 'String' means the converter is ignored.

If I comment out the line `<stringType>String</stringType>` then the converter is used as expected and the java classes have `UUID` types for those fields, but obviously all normal strings are now `CharSequence` objects.
