Question regarding Name component in Zay-ES

Hi

The default Name component in Zay-ES

jMonkeyEngine-Contributions/zay-es/blob/471a8ebc31504bf0b063ea60966c65c34e17aefd/src/main/java/com/simsilica/es/Name.java#L43


*/
package com.simsilica.es;
/**
*  Represents the name of an entity as a standardized component.
*
*  @author    Paul Speed
*/
public class Name implements EntityComponent, PersistentComponent {
   @StringType(maxLength=80)
   private String name;
   
   public Name() {
   }
   
   public Name( String name ) {   
       this.name = name;
   }

implements both EntityComponent and PersistentComponent.

PersistentComponent already extends EntityComponent so this should work fine with both DefaultEntityData and SqlEntityData.

Any reason why Name component yet implements EntityComponent ?

Because it’s harmless and slightly clearer.
