@NameProperty Annotation

<p>
	The {@link oaj.annotation.NameProperty @NameProperty} annotation is used to
	identify a setter as a method for setting the name of a POJO as it's known by its parent object.
</p>
<p>
	A commonly-used case is when you're parsing a JSON map containing beans where one of the bean 
	properties is the key used in the map.
