Description Janek Lasocki-Biczysko CLA 2006-09-19 14:08:37 EDT 
When creating parameterized commands the user needs to know the exact format of the value for parameters with a type.  It would be helpful if there was an API to access a description or some sort of formatting information that is required by these parameters.

So I'm thinking of adding an attribute to the schema and something like:
AbstractParameterValueConverter#getFormatDescription()

Later,

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
