Issue 14476: Align ArgumentType and ParameterType construction (xtce-rtf)

Summary: Description Kevin Rice 2007-10-22 21:52:34 BST 
In the schema, the parameter/arguments do not share a common root class until
NameDescriptionType.  All the types except for Time/Array & aggregate are
BaseDataTypes.  The Time types are BaseTimeDataTypes and array/aggregate just
have nameDescription as the root.  It would be better if they shared a common
"lower down" class/type that would be more indicative of what these really are
instead in nameDescription which is shared by many schema types in XTCE. It
effects the code -- instead having say List<CommonBaseDataType>  in Java.  One
gets List<NameDescriptionType> -- which works but isn't as type safe - it's too
generic.
