public Boolean getMandatory()
```
    Returns:
    
    null means optional
  - isMandatory
```
public boolean isMandatory()
```
  - setMandatory
```
public void setMandatory(Boolean mandatory)
```
  - getDefaultValue

public DescribedOptionValue getDefaultValue()
```
  - setDefaultValue
```
public void setDefaultValue(DescribedOptionValue defaultValue)
```
  - getMeaning
```
public List<String> getMeaning()
```
    Returns:
    
    The meaning of a value of this data type. Most of the time the meaning is a word describing the data type itself. E. g. "number" or "path". Sometimes there are better names like "id", "file", "directory", "name", "format" etc. The meaning will be printed like this in the help page: <meaning>
  - setMeaning
```
public void setMeaning(List<String> meaning)
```
  - getValidValues
```
public List<ValidValues<T>> getValidValues()
```
    If any of the element in this list validates a given value as correct, then it is correct. Hence, the list is meant as union set of valid values.
  - setValidValues
```
public void setValidValues(List<ValidValues<T>> validValues)
```
  - convertImpl
```
protected abstract T convertImpl(OptionValue ov)
                          throws InvalidValueException
```
    Converts a string-typed argument to the type represented by this DataType. No validation against valid values will happen.
    
    Parameters:
    
    ov -
    
    Returns:
    
    converted value
    
    Throws:
