 Glad to hear you got it resolved.

 You are right, the return value of that method is a name of the XML 
element used to store your query data. For example, in Bugzilla 
connector there are two query types, one created from URL and the form 
based one, so those names should be deterministic and unique between 
connectors. Also note that you need to add it to the set returned by 
getQueryElementNames() method. All the logic and interaction between 
these methods reside in the DelegatingTaskExternalizer class.

 Regarding javadocs, there is an open enhancement request scheduled for 
Mylyn 3.0:

195450: improve documentation for APIs and extension point definitions
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=195450

 I've submitted a patch there that includes javadocs for the 
AbstractTaskListFactory class.
