/**
* <b>Purpose:</b> Provide a way to allow properties with XmlID annotation have different type than java.lang.String.
* By default, all properties annotated with XmlID annotation are restricted to have java.lang.String type.
* <p>If XmlIDExtension annotation is used, there is no restriction of used type with XmlID annotation.</p>
* <p>Using XmlIDExtension provides way how to achieve backward compatibility with EclipseLink 2.5.x and before.</p>
* <p>When using xml bindings with XmlID property, it has same behavior as when XmlIDExtension is used.
* It means that there is no need to specify XmlIDExtension in xml, because the behavior is provided by default.
* </p>
