@Deprecated public final class MetadataConverter extends Object

Use ome.xml.meta.MetadataConverter.
A utility class containing a method for piping a source MetadataRetrieve object into a destination MetadataStore.

This technique allows conversion between two different storage media. For example, it can be used to convert an OMEROMetadataStore (OMERO's metadata store implementation) into an OMEXMLMetadata, thus generating OME-XML from information in an OMERO database.
