Description elhanan Maayan CLA 2010-12-01 01:37:20 EST
Build Identifier: 

the TaskRepository class enables the presistence of user defined properties for each repository. 
however it's implementation is purely a regular property map. while it is suffcient for simple properties like single values strings or booleans. more complex configuration are harder to implement.

a classic example would mapping tables.
there are my occupations where a one to one mapping between mylyn's properties and the repo's can be specfied using a ui, like a prioraty mapping and task kind mapping or even field mapping when a user can configure which field is a prioraty and which task kind, which is due_date.  
i feel that  perhaps a seperate configuration object should be created for this, allowing complex strucutes (like xml) to be stored and retrieved. 

Reproducible: Always
