public abstract class OMFConverter<B>
extends OpenMetadataAPIGenericConverter<B>

OMFConverter provides the generic methods for the OCF beans converters. Generic classes have limited knowledge of the classes these are working on and this means creating a new instance of a class from within a generic is a little involved. This class provides the generic method for creating and initializing an OMF bean.
