[jdt-core-dev] Adding attributes in .classpath file

[Jerome Lanneluc <jerome_lanneluc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Bug 22969 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22969) asks for
storing the javadoc attribute in the .classpath file. We want to support
this and maybe other attributes. So we're asking for your feedback on the
best way to add a new API for this.

Currently the way you create a new IClasspathEntry is using the
JavaCore#new*Entry(*) methods. One way to support the new attributes would
be to pass an extra argument of type Map. The key in the Map would be the
name of the extra attribute, and the value would be a String representing
the value of this attribute.

Has anyone a better idea for this API ?

Thanks,
Jerome
