/**
* Used to specify the mapping between a BPMN element and the activity type on which the annotation is defined.
*
* When multiple activity classes match the same BPMN element name, an activity can specify a BpmnTypeAttribute
* to ensure each BPMN activity element is uniquely mapped to a Java class. The attribute is defined in the
* Effektif namespace.
*
* This type match is optional: if a BPMN element such as <code>sendTask</code> does not match a {@link BpmnElement}
* mapping because of a missing type attribute, the mapping will fall back to a matched element without checking for
* this type attribute. This allows a <code>sendTask</code> to have a default type mapping.
