The original need is the following:
Let's say I build a Routing System based on Camel. Of course my System will depend on Camel. But I don't want the end user of my System (who will be responsible for adding routes, converters...) to depend on any camel jar.
Your solution is better (and also more time consuming than my simple metaannotation patch :)), will think about it.

> Today TypeConverter detection is based on org.apache.camel.@Converter annotation.
> Allow user to override this by using meta-annotation. This can be useful to hide camel dependencies, when extending the framework.
> ie, this can be done:
> package some.package.of.mine;
> @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
> @Target({ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
> @org.apache.camel.Converter
> public @interface OwnConverterAnnotation {
> }
> import some.package.of.mine.OwnConverterAnnotation;
> @OwnConverterAnnotation
> public class FileToXXXConverter {
>     @OwnConverterAnnotation 
>     public static XXX toWorkflowEntry(File file) throws IOException {
>         return new XXX();            
>     }
> }
