Re: [mylyn-dev] Storing private data per task

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, using ITask.getAttribute() and ITask.setAttribute() is the best API for this. Just be aware that the data is persisted in the task list and kept in memory so it's not recommended to store large amounts of data in those attributes.

Hi,

What is the best way to keep (and store for off-line use if possible) task-specific private data which is never going to be submitted back to the server and thus should not impact outgoing status task>

Is setAttribute/getAttribute of IAttributeContainer (and thus ITask and AbstractTask) good for that?

The Connector is not going to display such attribute to the user (so there is no need for TaskAttribute and AbstractAttributeEditor), but instead keep some auxiliary per-task data.

Cheers,
