This would be really nice.
Are you in touch with any of the spec editors?
Do you know if custom types are considered for the next version as well?

Thank you, I'm aware of the vendor extensions.
I'm the author of Hyperjaxb3, a tool which augments JAXB-generated classes
with JPA annotations thus making them persistable. I'm currently developing
a "pure" JPA version which uses no vendor extensions at all. Therefor I was
asking for a "pure" JPA way to map a simple collection.
Bye.
