Re: [mylyn-builds-dev] Question about configuration caches and extending

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The builds model is intended as a common abstraction and not likely
going to support storing any object. If you absolutely need to persist
your domain objects which I would not recommend you could take a look
at the GSon library. It's very easy to marshal objects into JSON which
can be persisted in a string attribute which should be supported by
the changes for this bug:
