@EdmAlias does not work

[DimitarTanev87]

I added @EdmAlias annotation with name = "RandomName" on a field in my entity class:
...
@EdmAlias(name = "RandomName")
@column(name = "type", nullable = false)
private String type;
...

but the response still contains Type:
...
Property Name="Type" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false" MaxLength="255"/
...

Actually it turned out that the annotation had not been implemented. What is the use case you would need the annotation for?

[DimitarTanev87]

To change the property name, to be something different than "type" when execute ".../$metadata".

Currently the only way to achieve this is to implement an own Name Builder. Doing so, you can override each property name. Let me know if this helps.
