Description Baybora Aksoy

2007-10-17 18:53:25 EDT

Build ID: M20070921-1145

Steps To Reproduce:
RepositoryTaskData allows definition of custom attributes. However, there is no support for adding an attribute container. It would be great, for a mylyn integrator, if there is support for adding an attribute container (like RepositoryAttachment, TaskComment) to RepositoryTaskData.

This seems like a good idea since it could get very ugly when trying to store complex data structures within the RepositoryTaskData. This would help clean things up.

Note to self: add this capability to RepositoryTaskData, not AttributeContainer to avoid cycles issue

bug 224009: [api] make all task data externalization classes final
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=224009

May make this impossible.
Also foresee problems due to current deepCopy() using (de)serialization.

Done. The TaskData class which supersedes RepositoryTaskData now has a root attribute of type TaskAttribute. Objects of type TaskAttribute can contain other TaskAttribute object which are can be created by invoking TaskAttribute.createAttribute().
